MELISSA MCCARTHY
ASKS 'CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?'
As 'Deadline' reports today, while she's waiting to see if GHOSTBUSTERS will flop or fly, Melissa McCarthy has another new project just signed: she will lead CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? based on Lee Israel memoir.
Israel was a magazine writer and author in the 1970s and ’80s who
specialized in profiles of big name entertainment figures. But when the
work dried up, she turned to selling letters she had forged from dead
writers and actors, and eventually she began stealing actual letters
from various archives before she was arrested in 1993. She is no longer
alive.

She then meets Mrs. Lanlaire, a very unpleasant woman with a class superiority. All this bodes ill for the future...
