Emily Gould, Elinor Carucci, and Kathy Ryan: The Screenplay

When we covered the Elinor Carucci photographs of Emily Gould in the Times last week, we had no idea how much buzz the magazine article would create (comments have finally been disabled). Ok, yes we did. But we didn’t expect the mainstream media to start casting the movie or for Carucci and Ryan to end up quoted in the Observer. At this rate, the two of them will make it onto IMDB before the year is through. If you ask us, we’d go with Jennifer Connelly to play Carucci. Tough, unswerving, knows who she is. But here’s the question: Who would play Kathy Ryan?

Some dialogue:

Carucci:

“I got some direction: ‘We want it to be personal. What’s her day like? Does she type on the bed? At the desk?’ They
wanted her clothes, or maybe something that will be more intimate.”

Gould:

“I am starting to wish the magazine had chosen to illustrate the piece
some other way. Between those rumpled, vaguely cheesecakey
photographs of me, the whole
sharing-in-order-to-assess-the-risks-of-oversharing paradox and the
fact that I implicitly criticized what professional bloggers are doing
with their lives, the whole thing is beginning to seem like a perfect
storm of Asking for It.”

Ryan:

“The photos speak for themselves.”

Classy, that Ryan. I’m thinking Meryl Streep. This is almost more fun than the Miley treatment.
