Minghella Not in Pittsburgh

Contrary to previous reports, Max Minghella will not star as the lead in the screen adaptation of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Hollywood Reporter reported Thursday.

Sources told Hollywood Reporter that the Art School Confidential star will not be able to star in the film because the production dates conflict with his fall semester schedule at Columbia University.

Sienna Miller is in final negotiations and Peter Sarsgaard is in talks to star in the film.

Note: An earlier version of this story, based on another version of the Hollywood Reporter article, stated that Ayelet Waldman, Michael Chabon’s wife, had been tapped as a producer for the film. This was an error, however. She did, according to Chabon, try about ten years ago to find financing with two producer freinds for a script written by Jeff Blitz (Spellbound). However, as Chabon notes, “This production has nothing to do with that one.”

This site regrets the error.
