I know I joked a couple weeks ago about Amazon.com opening a church, but seems I wasn’t too far off!
According to today’s Variety, “Amazon.com is going from peddler to producer. In its first feature-film venture, Amazon has optioned screen rights to Keith Donohue’s novel ‘The Stolen Child.’ Amazon will move to secure a filmmaker and then a studio partner to turn the fantasy into a live-action feature.”
Congrats to Keith! Another small victory for us writers. But honestly now: what’s next for Amazon? Hmmm. How about a game show like Hollywood Squares, but with kids? Gary Coleman could host
.
Speaking of films, who can name the one I just quoted?
Airplane II
But I must admit to cheating (thanks, Google!)
