Holiday Gift Idea
I love my agent dearly, and Scott Rudin has been my great benefactor this year, but when I came across this:
I knew I could put it to good use. Scott owns the film rights to just about every great book on the market, from ‘A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius’ to ‘The Corrections’. I’ve been going around my house looking for the book that will most confuse my agent when I leave it on his desk, paper-clip’d with the compliments of Scott Rudin. I paused a moment on ‘Ramona Quimby, Age 8’, but it turned out that is actually in development. ‘Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia’, which is literally just pictures of Russian tattoos? I am not kidding, it is IN DEVELOPMENT. I dallied at ‘White Nights: Portrait of a film’, because how good would it be if Scott wanted to make a film about a book of stills from an existing film? The winner:
Logline? “This magnetic cookbook contains a delicious selection of bread recipes, including traditional favourites such as Soda Bread and Barm Brack”. Listen to me, Cliff: if we can attach Amy Adams, I think we have a hit.

I really liked the Ramona TV show when I was a kid!
My first thought was that you were referring to Ramona Marquez- who just won best comedy newcomer for Outnumbered. If it's not on BBC America you should definitely try and catch it if you're in London for Christmas:

Merry Christmas!
