Script Sales - July 2010

A flood of comic book and graphic novel adaptations continue to move into development, including The Untamed, A Contract with God, Astro City, The Strange Case of Hyde, and the likely much-anticipated Xerxes, the prequel to Frank Miller's bloody and epic masterpiece, 300. A vampire twist on the biblical story of Cain, a handful of novel adaptations, such as a live-action story of the orignal Little Mermaid tale, and yet another version of South Pacific (not that there's anything wrong with that. . . .) fill out the rest of the month.

Other selected sales include:

--Guillermo del Toro will helm the Disney-inspired pic The Haunted Mansion.

--Also from Disney, Tink, focusing on. . . well, who do you think? Tinkerbell. Elizabeth Banks will star in the live-action film.

--The Grimm tale Hansel and Gretel will have a 3D re-telling.

--Nia Vardalos to pen Happy Mother's Day, a road comedy involving four moms.

--Echoing shades of Groundhog Day, the teen comedy Before I Fall, which centers on a student reliving the same day over and over again.

One From The Vault

THE PLAYER (1992)

Adapted by Michael Tolkin from his eponymous novel, the script is part suspense/satire, as a young studio exec becomes the chief suspect in a murder investigation. The story has as much to say about the sordid dealings of the film industry as it does about a man's crime and punishment guilt. Tolkin pulls a major coup in making this callous exec not only sympathetic, but almost heroic. He cleverly plays into the audience's innate desire for the criminal to get away with the crime.
