The Brownie Wise story that just got optioned with Sandra Bullock in talks to start--I am so bummed. I had been in talks with the author to co-write the screenplay, even had a producer involved but they couldn't seal the deal, and now it's gone. ARRGHHH!!!
I was developing a spec with the working title SWING VOTE when I got a Variety email alert that Kostner signed on to a project called SWING VOTE. Effin' sucks.
The producer I had said he didn't think there was a story in it. He didn't see it. I told him he was wrong. I was always afraid that a big fish producer would come along, and they did. Damn.
Well, something to be said about everybody being on the same page. If the producer believed in it he'd be working on a project with Sandra Bullock right now. At the end of the day, you have good instincts so try not to get too down about it.
