Brain on Fire to be released in 2016

 

Charlize Theron's production company Denver and Delilah has optioned Susannah Cahalan's New York Times bestseller Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness, with Dakota Fanning  as Calahan herself. The memoir chronicles the author's temporary descent into insanity after contracting a rare autoimmune disease at the age of 24.

 

When twenty-four-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up alone in a hospital room, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak, she had no memory of how she’d gotten there. Days earlier, she had been on the threshold of a new, adult life: at the beginning of her first serious relationship and a promising career at a major New York newspaper. Now she was labeled violent, psychotic, a flight risk.

 

Susannah tells the astonishing true story of her descent into madness, her family’s inspiring faith in her, and the lifesaving diagnosis that nearly didn’t happen.

"Steve" Fanning and his daughter Dakota watched the Knicks lose 86-79 to the Miami Heat (November 30, 2014). the stylish star was upstaged by her swoon-worthy father, who caused quite a splash on social media.

 

Baseball is a familiar territory for Steve, who played minor league baseball in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Troy University alum played infield positions for a variety of AAA, AA, and A teams, doing stints in Des Moines, Iowa, Louisville, Ky., and North Little Rock, Ark.

 

The sandy-haired electronic salesman, 47, looked sporty in a slim navy sweater and Knicks ball cap, leaving some to wonder whether Dakota was hanging with Robert Redford’s studly younger brother.

 

The former minor league baseball player’s good looks shouldn’t come as a shock; both Dakota, 20, and her sister Elle, 16, are A-list young actresses and perennial magazine covergirls.

“I just saw Whiplash, and I have a cinematic crush on J.K. Simmons. He doesn’t play the most likeable person in the movie. He was so good….I totally relate to it,” Dakota says in W magazine’s video
