Bringing “Amelia Earhart UNRESCUED” to the Silver Screen


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
