Caffeinated Clint
Based on the book of the same name
Acclaimed indy director Gus Van Sant – gee he’s been quiet of late – is returning to the forefront with “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test”, based on the book of the same name.
The book told the story of a cross-country road trip that “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” author Ken Kesey orchestrated with a group called the Merry Pranksters. Driving in a psychedelically painted bus from California to visit the World’s Fair in New York in 1964, Kesey and his band used the trip as a way to turn on those they met to the mind-expanding wonders of LSD.
Lance Black (“Big Love”) will write the script.
