Greg Berlanti has a long resume of TV shows that have been called-- Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone and Jack & Bobby were all dead before their time. But still he's getting a shot at the big leagues, tapped by Warner Bros. to direct an adaptation of the novel This Is Where I Leave You.

The book, which Variety reports hasn't even been published yet, It's about a family forced to sit Shivah by their departed father, even though none of them are particularly religious. Sounds like a typical "home for the holidays" dysfunctional family movie, but then again, after Rachel Getting Married, I'll never underestimate that genre again. We'll see what Berlanti can do with it.
