The film adaptation of Michael Chabon's "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" will go before camera lenses this summer, the LA Times reported Friday.

Oscar-nominated producer Michael London's company, Groundswell Productions, will finance the film, to be directed by Dodgeball writer-director Rawson Thurber.

London (Sideways) will produce along with Pete Chiarelli and Jason Mercer.

Shooting kicks-off in July on-location in Pittsburgh, Thurber's site says.

Seeing as Kavalier and Klay is dead I'm very happy about this. In fact I just picked up Mysteries of Pittsburgh to read again last night which rekindled my desire to see it as a film. Not sure about the Director though, I'd feel much happier with Curtis Hanson handling the Chabon universe again.
