The movie adapts Elizabeth Wurtzel's 1994 autobiographical account of her lifelong bout with the disease. The New York writer graduated from Harvard and became a well-known journalist, but her crippling feelings once caused her to attempt suicide. Prozac, she said, was the lifesaver that helped her reshape her life.

BOOB TUBE REDUX: Ex-"Roseanne" star
John Goodman
can't resist a return to sitcoms -- especially when Fox and the producers at Carsey-Werner Co. (his old "Roseanne" home) offered him $4.4 million for 22 episodes' worth of work. According to Variety, the actor has signed on to star as one-half of an "Odd Couple"-like pair of single fathers living together with their teenagers. ("My Two Dads" with more kids?)

The film will combine outtakes from the show along with backstage activities and music. The movie's in development at Paramount-based MTV Films, with the network planning a soundtrack that combines the channel's top hip-hop and R&B acts.
MTV Prods. Senior VP David Gale tells Variety promises that the movie "will be pretty racy, but not offensive."
MAN IN BLACK: He's a music legend and an American icon. Next, dark horse Johnny Cash will be the subject of a big-screen movie. Variety says Columbia Pictures has signed filmmaker
James Mangold

Girl, Interrupted
") to co-write and direct "Cash," a biopic about the musician's "tumultuous life and profound effect on American music."
