PETER GATIEN - CLUB KING PETER GATIEN'S STORY TO BE FILMED

Ex-club honcho PETER GATIEN and his daughter JENNIFER plan to hire the screenwriter of A BEAUTIFUL MIND to bring their life story to the movies.

PURSUIT OF PLEASURE is set to be scripted by AKIVA GOLDSMAN, and is based on a 12-page treatment written by Jennifer herself.

While rival flick PARTY MONSTER focuses on jailed club-owning child killer MICHAEL ALIG, Pursuit Of Pleasure will concentrate on Jennifer's experiences of life with her partying pop during the rise and fall of his nightclub dynasty.

Jennifer says, "Our movie is much more about the father / daughter dynamic and growing up in clubland. It's from my point of view, and it's based on what really happened."

JON SHEAR is lined up to direct the picture.
