Buckley & Pressman together again for ‘Broker’

Make it 2 for 2 for Edward R. Pressman – The Hollywood Reporter reports that another Christopher Buckley novel is on the way to the big screen – the novelist sold the rights to his book to the producer who was part of Thank You for Smoking's producing minds. 

God Is My Broker centers on an alcoholic stock broker who gives everything up and joins a monastery. But when the monks' vow of poverty begins to take a financial toll, the former broker uses his old skills to save them, turning his new home into a frightning parallel of the world he desperately tried to escape. 

Screenwriter Peter Himmelstein is set to adapt the novel being produced not only by Edward R. Pressman Film Corp., but by Polsky Films and Stephen Belafonte's WhiteShark Films.
