Comments on: Bigfoot Books Optioned by Major Hollywood Studio http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/roumieu-movie-deal/ for Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and More Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:35:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: wildmanmarty http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/roumieu-movie-deal/#comment-22872 wildmanmarty Sat, 21 Apr 2007 01:46:16 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/roumieu-movie-deal/#comment-22872 I would like to know, too. I am in the animation industry and I think this could be a potentially good project, depending on who handles it. Even within the creative structure of any particular studio, there are both brilliant and bonehead decisions made, just as with any large or small company. I have experienced examples of both. Please don't ask me to name names, even though I am anonymous here. I would like to know, too.

There are just as many (if not more) unwatchable independent movies out there as there are bad studio flicks. The article doesn't mention which 'major studio' optioned the books. I'd be curious to know. Anyone read anything else about this? Elsanto: Bashing ‘Hollywood moguls’ is hardly clever or insightful.

Me Write Book is brilliant, encompassing both parody and satire. Hearing that Roumieu has sold the rights to Hollywood leaves me divided. On the one hand, part of me is cheering, "Go, Graham!" On the other hand, I'm feeling trepidation because the result may well look like DDBO's ridiculous Boston Pizza campaign. Of course, they're only optioned, so nothing may ever be done with them, in which case, Roumieu comes out a real winner. Unless, of course, Hollywood decided to do them as animation... but one can hardly expect Hollywood moguls to be that clever. Too bad no independents made a bid. Just my two cents.
