Lauren Conrad’s LA Candy to Hit the Big Screen

Was anyone expecting Lauren Conrad to fade away in the celeb background after quitting The Hills? Yeah, me too.
Turns out her bestselling young adult novel, L.A. Candy will be made into a full-length feature film! The book follows 19-year-old protagonist Jane Roberts as she moves to Los Angeles and finds fame as a reality TV star. Here’s what producer Marty Bowen had to say about the whole shebang:
“Lauren, who became an icon in that reality show world, came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book. We loved her take. Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realize, wow, this isn’t at all what I’d planned for myself.
So interesting that Lauren would be able to create an honest portrayal of what it must be like to be a reality star. She’s super creative.
Lauren plans to write more books involving the same character. Should I read these? Is the first one out in paperback yet?
Wake me when the movie’s out.
