Author wants Adam to play lead character...?

American Idol Runner-Up might just be the star to stud "Shades of Luz" when the book goes film. John Gorman, author of the novel is proactively considering options.

The author said, "I want to find somebody read-made and perfect for the part. I have a few ideas. Adam Lambert actually would be a good Benny. His singing style is all over the place like Benny's mind. You got to give props to a guy who can put out songs that bridge the gap between Depeche Mode and Queen."

The book has only been out a month, so has anybody on this forum read it yet? This is exciting for Adam to get a mention in the literary world and movie world in one shot. To just be considered for the role and by the author himself is a pretty big honor. It was the 1st name thrown out, as if he had Adam in mind when creating the character almost. Here's the article:

Thanks for this, SS, I haven't read the book (currently into a series by Diana Gabaldon) but I'm interested now. It's wonderful that Adam came so easily to Gorman's mind. How I would love to see it all come down that Adam gets the part, stars in a movie, goes global!
Thought I had been keeping up with things on this forum but I'll be sneaking back here off and on all day getting caught up (at work, hee-hee).

Here's another piece on Gorman.
