Amanda Seyfried is going to be The Girl Who Conned The Ivy League!
New project for director McG and Seyfried, so we’re looking forward to this new story, that’s based on the Rolling Stone article of the same name adapted into a feature by screenwriter Lorene Scafaria.
If you had a chance to read the original story, than you know it’s little bit like Catch me if you can, since it is a story about a clever girl, named Esther Reed who managed to steal a series of identities, become Brooke Henson and get herself into Columbia University under false pretenses, not to mention a false identity.
No wonder she was described as “a criminal genius,” by Jon Campbell, the South Carolina police detective who eventually exposed her trail of deceit, who also added that “she was manipulative, controlling, brilliant. We didn’t know what to make of her.

The latest project to fall into the laps of prolific hoarders Amanda Seyfried and McG is a movie based upon Sabrina Rudin Erdely's Rolling Stone article The Girl Who Conned the Ivy League. I've just read the original story to get a handle on what the movie would be about, and in basic terms, it's this: Esther Reed steals a series of identities, eventually becoming Brooke Henson and getting admitted to Columbia University under false pretenses, not to mention a false identity. Detectives looking for the real Brooke Henson, who was a missing person, track the fake Brooke down but before they can nab her, she hits the road and vanishes. At this point, police detective Jon Campbell takes on the hunt as easily his biggest case to date, and the chase is on. There's more than a whiff of Catch Me If You Can about this, I think you'll agree.
