I had been limited to how much I could say about the sale of the movie option to my novel THE FLOCK. But the wheels turn very slowly and deliberately in Hollywood. However, here's what I can tell you now:
I sold the movie option to Don Murphy at his AngryFilms outfit. Don Murphy is best known as the producer of movies like NATURAL BORN KILLERS, FROM HELL, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, SHOOT 'EM UP, and of course the two TRANSFORMERS films. Don then partnered with John Wells who produced TV shows such as ER and WEST WING, among others. The project is now in development at Warner Brothers.
It's all very exciting of course. I'll post more details as they come to me.
Here's a link to the article at The Hollywood Reporter.
I don't think you ever told me the story about how Don Murphy came across your book. I thought it was pretty ironic how it happened. I did a little write-up about it on my blog: http://scjack.blogspot.com/2009/07/bobs-big-break.html
ReplyDeleteI love telling that story. I have a couple of jokes to go with it. He didn't let it bother him when he was reading my novel, fortunately.
