Moonwalking with Einstein is getting a lot of press coverage. Here is an interview with Joshua Foer on NPR:

Will there be a Moonwalking with Einstein movie?
It appears to be in development here and here.
Producers: Mike White and Ben LeClair
Directed by: Mike White
Distributed by: Paramount Pictures
Comedy?
