The Scarlet Letter goes high school

Frankly, the story has always struck me as being fairly juvenile, so this seems like a pretty good fit.

Variety is reporting that Will Gluck is directing a film called Easy A, a "modern, high school-set retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter... [centering] on a student who sees her life paralleling Hawthorne’s heroine Hester Prynne after she pretends to be the school slut in hopes she’ll benefit from the notion she’s promiscuous."

Huh. Sounds... unique?
