Chicks, man. The Tracking Board reports that such a sentiment—albeit one told in far more poetic and skilled words—is about to hit the big screen in the guise of a new film based on Charles Bukowski’s semi-autobiographical book Women. The outlet reports that Voltage Pictures will produce a new take on the novel, complete with a script by screenwriter Ethan Furman.

The book follows Bukowksi’s on-page surrogate, Hank Chinaski, “as he attempts to manage the many women who fall in love with him through his writings.” Writers, man.

Bukowski penned the novel in 1978, and although it focuses more on his later life (even the book’s Wikipedia page notes that the book isn’t about his time “as a dead-end lowlife,” diss), it’s still preoccupied with Bukowski’s inability (and apparent disinterest) to hold on to just one lady love for too long. Peppered with real-life people (bearing fake names), the book is one of the author’s most personal works, and it’s also one that could work on the big screen, given the right talent.

As the outlet notes, this isn’t the only Bukowski-centric feature in the works, “as James Franco recently wrapped production on a biopic based on the author’s life, which he also directed. The project is loosely based on Ham On Rye and Neeli Cherkovski’s 1997 book Bukowski: A Life, and stars Tim Blake Nelson as the celebrated author.” Oh, man, Franco is going to be so pissed when he realizes that he probably can’t direct this one, too.
