Now that my novel, Amelia
Earhart UNRESCUED, is in bookstores everywhere, it’s obviously time to
think seriously about a screen adaptation.
Here’s why:
1.
It’s widely known that Hollywood (maybe not
Bollywood) is hard up for new stories – hence the constant reworks, reboots,
retreads of old movies and TV series. UNRESCUED
is a new story – albeit derived from an old and famous one.
2. UNRESCUED is highly cinematic – beautiful island,
beautiful star (auditions, anyone?), an elegant, doomed airplane, a shipwreck,
a massive storm, the vast Pacific, challenging animal characters.
3.
Speaking of the last, imagine the potential for
computer-generated imagery (CGI) as applied to the wisecracking crab, the psychotherapist booby, and the
ghost. And what stars can provide their
voices?
4.
And ultimately UNRESCUED is a story about accepting and
transcending one’s fate, which may provide the inspiration we all need in these
strange, strange times.
Studios, producers and agents – I’m happy to discuss
possibilities. Tomking106@gmail.com, 01-240-475-0595
