Everybody agrees that Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” was one of the brightest spots in the 2005 literary world.

But how in tarnation do they plan to make a movie from it?

In November, Gladwell optioned the film rights to Universal Pictures.

According to Publishers Weekly, Stephen Gaghan, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of “Traffic” has been retained to write and direct, as well as co-produce, the film.

Leonardo deCaprio is another co-producer.
