Colin Firth and Michael Fassbender to team up in 'Genius'

Great news, everybody! According to Deadline, Michael Fassbender has agreed to bless Colin Firth with his presence in "Genius," a biopic of sorts about the relationship between author Thomas Wolfe and his editor, Max Perkins. Prolific screenwriter John Logan ("Gladiator," "The Last Samurai," "Rango," "Skyfall," the upcoming "Noah," as well as the next two James Bond movies) will adapt the script from A. Scott Berg's supposedly award-winning biography "Max Perkins: Editor of Genius." English majors and otherwise literate people everywhere may rejoice at the news, that their favorite pastime, taking a ungainly mishmash of unsightly words and rearranging them into slightly more beautiful sentences—i.e., the exotic, heretofore inscrutable process of "editing"—will finally be getting its proper due, the grand Hollywood treatment.
