There's room for everyone on the Wall.

And now, the moment I have been quietly waiting for...

Ahem. From today's announcement at Publishers Weekly:

"Film rights: Mira Grant's trilogy, Feed, Deadline, and Blackout, optioned to Rachel Olschan, producer at Electric Entertainment, by Pouya Shahbazian of FinePrint, on behlf of Diana Fox at Fox Literary."

WE OPTIONED THE FILM RIGHTS TO FEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, this doesn't mean this will necessarily be a movie (although I hope there will), but it takes us a huge, huge step closer to that becoming a reality. Everyone I've dealt with has been amazing, supportive, and enthusiastic, and now there's a beautiful chance that maybe, we can see Shaun and Georgia Mason on the big screen.

How's that for a book-day present?

ETA: Belated comment amnesty, because you guys are awesomely enthusiastic, and wow will I never get to all these comments!

From what I've heard: only the first step in an insanely long process. But an awesome process nonetheless. Definitely slaughter-the-fatted-calf time. :-D

...it's silly, but I'd never actually thought of Feed as movie material, but now that you bring up the idea: it totally, totally is. Damn, that could be one amazing flick.

...so how long until the fantasy casting thread? :-P

Oh, wow. I'm amazed your head hasn't already exploded from trying to keep this news until you could spread it!

That would be so awesome if the movie actually gets made.

Great News! Congrats! I hope Ryan Murphy writes the script, and either James Gunn or Joss Whedon directs!

Wow! Congratulations!!!! I just picked up my copy of Deadline today (they hadn't even put it on the shelf yet!) and I kept thinking how awesome it would be if they did a movie for the series. I hope they do!

Okay, I don't go to zombie movies, but I'd go to a Feed movie. (Well, if you liked it, that is.)

Awesome Bookday Present!
