Those novels were published under Frey’s YA label Full Fathom Five. He also wrote The Lorien Legacies series, the first of which, I Am Number Four, was turned into a film by DreamWorks in 2011. Separately, Frey wrote a sequel novel to A Million Little Pieces called My Friend Leonard, which focuses on the character Thornton plays in the film. The sequel to A Million Little Pieces (see this database), Freys follow-up memoir begins with James serving time in an Ohio prison for crimes he had. At the end of the novel, James is released from rehab and picked up by his little brother. An intense, instantly engaging, hard-hitting, yet beautifully written memoir of a life beyond the brink that touches every nerve. Frey wrote the script and Makeready is out to directors and will make the film through its Universal Pictures and eOne distribution deal. ABC’s long-running drama A Million Little Things aired its final episode Wednesday night, and in true A Million Little Things fashion, it was a doozy.

The novel, which has been sold to foreign publishers in 37 countries, will be published this fall in the U.S. Makeready is also teamed with Management 360 to package as a film Katerina, Frey’s first novel in ten years.

The film, which also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Giovanni Ribisi and Odessa Young ( Assassination Nation), will be launched as an acquisition title in the fall festivals. A Million Little Pieces is a book by James Frey, originally sold as a memoir and later marketed as a semi-fictional novel following accusations of literary forgery. This comes as Brad Weston’s Makeready and The Picture Company prepare to launch A Million Little Pieces, the screen version of the semi-autobiographical and controversial addiction novel that was adapted into a feature by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson, the latter of whom directed her husband in the lead role. EXCLUSIVE: CAA just signed best-selling author James Frey.
