Will Julia Roberts Come Back to Brooklyn To Film The Sequel To 'Eat, Pray, Love?'
Certain Brooklynites we know have been rather put out by the filming of "Eat, Pray, Love," the adaptation of author Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling travel memoir starring Julia Roberts as a woman who takes three different trips in a year to get over a destructive divorce.
Well, buckle down everyone as we can expect more movie trailers in, say, 2011: Gilbert's second memoir Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage hits stores in early 2010, and a movie version can't be far behind.
For the four of you who haven't read it yet, Eat, Pray, Love ends with Gilbert finding love in her final destination of Bali, with a Brazilian-born Australian played by Javier Bardem in the movie. Committed sees Gilbert and her lover contemplate getting hitched after he gets detained by the Department of Homeland Security after a trip to France, and then take off across southeast Asia while pondering the question of popping the question. Further spoiler alert: They totally got married at the end.
Gilbert might have the spotlight now, but next year she'll have to contend with another high-profile travel book: Her ex, Michael Cooper, announced a few weeks ago that his own divorce memoir would come out in 2010. Displaced, published by Hyperion, chronicles Cooper's own search for meaning in the Middle East according to Publishers Weekly, where presumably he met a Nigerian-British oil heiress who taught him how to love again. Competitive travel memories: Let the best break-upper win!
