David Foster Wallace’s story “A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again” following a father and son on a cruise bonding on several levels with has inspired a feature length film that will star Bill Hader with Me and Earl and the Dying Girl writer Jesse Andrews’ directorial debut.

Called “The Empress of Serenity”, we’re pretty sure that, if everything goes well, this is the sort of movie that will dominate the festival circuit and make it into limited release sooner rather than later.
