THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY Optioned by Hollywood

Hollywood-Cartoon-Sign-Wallpaper

TOTGAI’ve been sitting on this tidbit for a little bit, but I have permission to finally announce it.  I have some exciting news. Namely, THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY has been optioned for a film by Rainforest Entertainment.  Their past films include NO GOOD DEED, OBSESSED, TAKERS and RIDE ALONG.

A movie option is only the first step to getting a film made but with the track record the producers have, I think there’s a more than even chance that a THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY movie could be at theater near you…
