Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank has bought the rights for a film version of the best-selling book "French Women Don't Get Fat," entertainment press reported Wednesday.
Swank, an Academy Award winner for "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby" could star in a screen adaptation of Mireille Guiliano's hit 2004 lifestyle tome, Daily Variety reported.
Guiliano, a former executive with champagne company Veuve Clicquot, scored a hit with her book, subtitled "The Secret of Eating for Pleasure" which offered insights into how French women manage to stay slim despite enjoying calorie-rich staples such as pastries and wine.
The book reached top spot on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and has sold more than two million copies worldwide to date.
Variety reported that the film version would be a romantic comedy about the boss of a champagne company.
