Spyglass has picked up film rights to Neil Strauss' dating novel "The Game" which Dan Weiss ("Halo," "Pattern Recognition") will adapt says Variety.

The book recounts "an average frustrated chump's" attempts to become the world's best pickup artist with the help of professional seduction experts.

Chris Weitz was originally going to adapt the book, but then he got pulled back into helming "The Golden Compass."
