Tucker Max ProjectsIn 2006, Max began development of a television pilot for Comedy Central, but the project was reportedly canceled after a dispute with Sony about feature film rights.[10] In September 2006, Simon Spotlight Publishing, a division of Simon & Schuster, announced that Max was contracted to release a book in January 2008, titled Assholes Finish First. Undisclosed delays have pushed the release date back to 2010. [11][12] He purportedly received a $300,000 advance from the publisher for Assholes..., and has also announced intentions to release a second edition of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.[13][14][15] Max is the founder of an online company named Rudius Media. The company website states that it is "dedicated to finding, publishing, managing and publicizing new and original content by unknown or under-promoted artists and writers."[16] His blogging network includes journalist and television host Mark Ebner,[17] strategy writer Robert Greene, and actor/comedian Jamie Kennedy.[18][19][20][21] In 2008, The Hollywood Reporter announced that he was producing a movie based on his first, bestselling book, also titled I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.[22][23] Max has detailed the process on a production blog hosted on the movie's website.[24] Actor Matt Czuchry will portray Tucker on film.[25] Legal troublesIn 2003, Max posted on his website an account of his relationship with Katy Johnson, who was Miss Vermont in 1999.[26] Johnson filed a lawsuit against Max claiming, among other things, an invasion of her privacy.[26] In response to the lawsuit, a Florida state court judge issued an "unusual" order for Max not to write about Ms. Johnson, to use Ms. Johnson's first, full, or last name, to use the phrase "Miss Vermont" on his website, or to disclose any "information" or "stories" about Ms. Johnson. [26] Ultimately, Johnson voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit against Max, and Max's story was once again posted on his website.[27] Bibliography
