David Sedaris coming to the big screen

Finally, a David Sedaris story is getting a big screen makeover.

The popular humorist published his first collection, Barrel Fever, in 1994. Since then, he has sold millions of copies of his books, and yet nothing has received the Hollywood treatment. That's about to change.

C.O.G. is based on the autobiographical story of the same name from the best-selling collection Naked.

Glee star Jonathan Groff stars as David, a young man who plans a summer in the Northwest with his friend Jennifer (Troian Bellisario of Pretty Little Liars), working on a farm. But when Jennifer unexpectedly bails on him, David is left to dirty his hands alone and jump into a series of misadventures that will take him to unfamiliar – and hilariously uncomfortable – places.
