Richard Ayoade has signed a deal to write three books about film!

British publisher Faber and Faber have announced that Richard Ayoade has signed a three-book deal, to write a series about the actor and director’s "furious obsession with film with his innate sense of life's ridiculousness."

According to Chortle, the books are described as showing "a film-maker exploring himself, respectfully, insightfully, and sometimes by surprise... on a journey that has the courage to step inside."

About the deal, Ayoade has said: "Faber and Faber has long been one of the most respected and prestigious publishing houses in the country. It is with great pleasure that I can be present at the start of its decline."

He also promises to "take us on a journey that has the courage to step inside; it is both a celebration and a slap; a call to arms for those without weapons. It is a eulogy; it is a rebirth; it is both recognition and re-ignition of this flickering myth we call film."

The first book is called 'Ayoade on Ayoade' and will be released this November!
