Actor Jesse Eisenberg is adapting his series of short stories into a comedy programme for online retailer Amazon’s streaming service Prime Instant Video. The Social Network star began writing Bream Gives Me the Hiccups for publishing website McSweeney’s in 2012, running a total of 12 instalments until the end of 2013.
Now Eisenberg has struck a deal with bosses at Amazon to turn the series into a half-hour comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Bream centres around a privileged nine-year-old restaurant critic who visits various eateries with his alcoholic mother.
The Oscar nominee will also executive produce and direct the project.
