New Line is currently acquiring the filming rights to the book Crazy U: One Dad’s Crash Course In Getting His Kid Into College by Andrew Ferguson.  There aren’t many certain details in place yet, but a few rumors are circling!

Deadline reports that it “will be developed as a potential star vehicle for Will Ferrell,” and will be produced by Kevin Mishner, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and Jessica Elbaum. If Ferrell does act in the film, he would star as the main character, the father.

Below, Deadline provides a brief synopsis, based from the true chronicles of Ferguson himself:

Obsessed with keeping his son from making that one wrong step that could dash the youth’s dreams, dad tries to get an audience with the most sought after and expensive private college consultant in the country, insinuates himself in helping his son past the SATs, and all the campus tours and stressful admissions interviews, all culminating in waiting for the fat envelope that will determine success or failure in getting into an elite school that will siphon off all dad’s savings.

What do you think of the film adaptation? If Ferrell will star, we’re hoping it will be one of his better comedies!
