ABC News is reporting that 20th Century Fox division Fox Searchlght is in negotiations to adapt the upcoming memoir I Slept With Joey Ramone, written by Joey's brother Mickey Leigh and longtime Ramones historian Legs McNeil. The studio involvement would give a significantly higher profile to the project, which has been under works independently by manager-producer Rory Rosegarten.
Rosegarten secured the rights to the book back in 2006. At the time he also negotiated the rights to Joey's life story from his mother and the executrix of Ramone's estate, Charlotte Lesher.

I Slept With Joey Ramone, the book, is scheduled to be published by Simon & Schuster imprint Fireside in December.
