Nearly 40 years after its original publication, Tom Wolfe's hallucinogenic tome "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" is headed for the bigscreen.
Gus Van Sant is attached to direct, and Lance Black ("Big Love") will write the script. FilmColony's Richard Gladstein is producing, and he's in the process of setting the project with a financier.
The book told the story of a cross-country road trip that "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" author Ken Kesey orchestrated with a group called the Merry Pranksters. Driving in a psychedelically painted bus from California to visit the World's Fair in New York in 1964, Kesey and his band used the trip as a way to turn on those they met to the mind-expanding wonders of LSD.
It's likely Wolfe will not be a major character in the film, which will focus on Kesey and include events that occurred after the road trip.
I can't wait!! Gus Van Sant, don't disappoint me now! Cuz Elephant sucked and Last Days was only okay because Michael Pitt, Asia Argento, and Kim Gordon were in it. Okay.

7-legged lamb!
A seven-legged lamb is pictured on its farm at Methven near Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand, Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Veterinarian Steve Williams said he believed a misprint in embryo formation had resulted in the lamb being born polydactyl, with many legs, a condition that occurs once in several million sheep.

Videos of sexy Brazilian models at the Halloween parties
These girls love their halloween parties. In any case, Alessandra actually looks kind of cute at the beginning of the second video and unsurprisingly, Ana Beatriz looks SUPER coked out. Nice.
