Here’s a mouth-watering / eye-popping / teeth-grinding (delete as applicable) quote for wannabe writers, courtesy of Stephen Galloway’s piece ‘Studios are hunting the next big property’ in the
Hollywood Reporter:
“That hunger for potential franchise material is something London-based literary agent Michelle Kass experienced firsthand when she came to Los Angeles in May with her client Derek Landy’s novel Skulduggery Pleasant, a fantastic tale of a young female detective who teams up with a wisecracking ghost. Kass and Landy were wooed by several major studios, even meeting with Steven Spielberg, before executive Kevin McCormick persuaded them that Warners was the right home for the project with a deal that gave Landy around $1 million, along with the right to script the film and be involved with creating his own video game.”
Still, at least yon Landy isn’t dating Nicole Kidman
and Keira Knightley, eh?
