Alcon Entertainment, fresh off the success of "The Blind Side," is developing "
Late Bloomer," the true story of a man who undergoes puberty in three weeks.
The original book chronicled Baker's struggle with the effects of a benign tumor that rested against his pituitary gland, which delayed his puberty and normal development, causing him frustration and embarrassment. At age 27, a successful operation to remove the tumor restored him to hormonally normal masculinity, but resulted in his experiencing all the effects of puberty over an extremely condensed three-week period.
