I promise to remember you, the little people: The comments have been cryptic and they're going to stay that way, at least publicly. But I know more than a few of you have picked up on me dropping hints about making Blood & Volume into a movie.
For the record, no deals have been signed and there are no guarantees. A producer is interested and wants to generate more interest (which means the book release party may or may not be even more interesting than it would've been even if it was "just" a book release party). The idea now is to attach a big name actor to it and, failing that, look into finding investors to go the indie route. It would be a long, complex process if I decide to go forward, and as is often the case in creative fields, a process that is rife with potential disappointment.
This is the side of the business they don't teach you in writing school, and it's the side of the business I'm going to have to learn through trial and error. But let's be honest: at one point I didn't really know jack about book publishing, and that seems to have gone well. So just when I thought I was sick of Blood & Volume and ready to put it to bed, I'm starting to let myself get caught up in the little daydreams of seeing "Based on the book by Dave Copeland" on the screen at my local cineplex.
In other words, I've come this far. Why not take a shot at the title?Labels: bloodandvolume, life, movies
