Film Interest

[Mark Robson]

Thanks, DG. And a happy birthday for yesterday!

[I, Brian]

Thinks an Imperial film would work great - no big budget demands either which has to be a help in making it a possibility.

[Mark Robson]

I agree, Brian. Every now and then I get another sniff of interest, but it seems to fizzle out quite quickly. The interest for my new book, The Devil's Triangle, does seem a lot stronger, though. Enough to spark my agent into a frenzy of activity anyway. Let's hope he gets somewhere.

Hi Mark, just tried to send you an email about the composition possibility but it won't let me do IM's or private emails yet!

[Mark Robson]

Hello WRO. You can email me at:

There is a standard joke that has been going round for as long as the Hollywood system that runs along the lines of:

"You wanna know how dumb that starlet is? I'll tell you; she slept with the writer...."

[Mark Robson]

LOL!

More interest from one of the top UK film companies, too.

An interesting development this week... a major British film studio enquired about the availability of film rights for The Darkweaver books. Now that's a bolt out of the blue! It seems someone in the hierarchy has read and loved the books and is interested in producing a screen adaptation. How interested remains to be seen.

Now that sounds good!

[WROrchestra]

Excellent. Let's hope the interest just escalates!

[Patrick Mahon]

Very good news, Mark - congratulations! Now if only the wheels of the film industry didn't turn quite so slowly...

That'd be amazing. They'd make really good films I reckon

To use a fishing analogy, I got my first serious bite today on Devil's Triangle from a major US film agent/producer. Will have to see if I can keep him on the line now. Things seem to be hotting up on the dramatic rights front for me recently.

Love to hear good news like this!
