Paramount acquires screen rights to Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick

Turning books into movies is Hollywood's favourite go to these days more so than ever and the studios all want the new Potter, well TOLDYA are reporting Paramount have snapped up a new young adult novel by Joe Schreiber entitled "Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick" with the Gossip Girl creators possibly coming on board as producers, here is the synopsis.

The protagonist is a high school kid whose parents take in an Eastern European exchange student. Though she seems homely and ordinary at first, he realizes he misjudged her. After they leave the prom at her suggestion to go clubbing in New York City, she reveals herself to be a beautiful assassin after 5 targets.  He is pressed to help and has to figure out if her motives are righteous. 

So Michael Cera in the male lead role I imagine, not sure about this one, more underage assassins, maybe this is to combat George Clooney's old man assassin in "The American"or  perhaps we are due an early 30's assassin film soon.

Tooled up as a back comedy with an R rating it might work I guess, although given it's a young adult novel I am guessing the content is not geared in that direction.
