In today’s bit of odd news, Paramount has purchased the rights to an article published in the New York Times about an apartment. They have hired JJ Abrams to produce a feature film based on the article which described a 14th-floor apartment on upper Fifth Avenue which contains a Rube Goldberg maze of systems designed by a young architect named Eric Clough.

/Film reports that screenwriters Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky have been hired to turn the idea into a movie. For more information on the interesting apartment, check out the NY Times article, or better even, view pictures of it.
