It’s tough to avoid Amy Chua right now. After her essay “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” appeared in The Wall Street Journal, she’s been everywhere — on last night’s The Colbert Report, in the Times — and now, you might see her story on the big screen. Ron Bass, the co-writer of The Joy Luck Club, say they’re interested in possibly making Chua’s much-debated Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother into a movie. “I was tempted to say, ‘Nah, there’s nothing here,’” he said. But then he reconsidered. “Not only is there a movie here, I definitely think it’s more than one movie.” It might not turn out the way Chua wants it to, though. “If the question is whether Amy’s story itself is a movie, of course it could be,” he says. “Is that the best way to make the movie? I doubt it.” [HR]
