Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gus Van Sant (‘Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot,’ ‘Good Will Hunting’) has signed on to direct Will Ferrell in ‘Prince of Fashion,’ a film based on Michael Chabon’s GQ article, “My Son, The Prince of Fashion.”
Chabon’s article, originally published in September 2016, details the Pulitzer Prize-winner’s visit to Paris Men’s Fashion Week with his 13-year old son, Abraham. It is the heart-warming story of teenager experiencing the world of high fashion for the first time, meeting his fashion idol, attending runway shows, and finding “his people.” You can read the article over on GQ.
Ferrell will also serve as producer on the project, alongside Jessica Elbaum, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
