It’s DOUBLE TAKE For Katie Jacobs

I’m going to write a memoir someday, but I doubt anyone would pick up the screen rights. It’d be nice tho. Deadline said Katie Jacobs, an executive producer of the series House, is going to direct the adaptation of the memoir DOUBLE TAKE by photographer/X-Games Ski Champion/skateboarder Kevin Michael Connolly. O, by the way, I forgot to mention, Connolly did all those amazing accomplishments without legs. That’s what makes this story remarkable, he was born without legs. This is definitely going to be an inspiring film.
John Sayles will pen the script

Order the memoir today at Amazon, after the jump is its official synopsis..

Kevin Michael Connolly is a twenty-four-year-old man who has seen the world in a way most of us never will. Whether swarmed by Japanese tourists at Epcot Center as a child or holding court at the X Games on his mono-ski, Kevin Connolly has been an object of curiosity since the day he was born without legs. Growing up in rural Montana, he was raised like any other kid (except, that is, for his father’s MacGyver-like contraptions such as the “butt boot”). As a college student, Kevin traveled to seventeen countries on his skateboard, including Bosnia, China, Ukraine, and Japan. In an attempt to capture the stares of others, he took more than 30,000 photographs of people staring at him. In this dazzling memoir, Kevin Connolly casts the lens inward to explore how we view ourselves and what it is to truly see another person. From the home of his family in Helena, Montana, to the streets of Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur, Kevin’s remarkable journey will change the way you look at others, and the way you see yourself.
