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!

I have long thought these books were film-worthy; I hope they actually make it to the big screen. Your series is PERFECT for the zombie market, and smarter than many of the films in the genre.

Now I get to think about just WHO would be perfect in the roles for George and Shaun...

And now, to delve into my copy of Blackout, which my darling, DARLING husband bought for me today and had waiting for me when I got home from work.

When will we Rise?

Ahhhhhhh! runs around and squeeeeees!

Congratulations! 'Feed' on the big screen ... or the smaller TV screen ... maybe in video games [hee hee]. That could be awesome! Or ... it -could- just mean you get a bucket of money and nothing is done with it. ENJOY the bucket! HUGS and I am so happy for you!

OMGSQUEE! The whole time I was reading the first two books I was thinking what a great movie it would make. Let's hope we all get to find out! Congrats!

This is such great news! From the first time I read Feed I thought: this would make a great film. Very, very happy for you, now lets hope in the future we see an LJ post proudly announcing the world premiere of Feed: the movie.

I'm not surprised but it's so wonderful to hear it's happening! Will Debbie start a Waiting for Feed comic?

That is fucking awesome, and I really, really, REALLY hope this comes together quickly and well. Even if the trailer looks cheesetastic, I'll be there opening night.

Okay, so I had to look up the producer, and she co-produces Leverage! I'm much more hopeful now. :)

Woooooooot!

If it gets made into a movie that would be totally awesome!

And if it doesn't lead to a movie, then you got paid for the option without having to tear your hair out after seeing what Hollywood did with it!

It's win-win! ;)

This is Mira Grant's book. If Hollywood did something terrible with it, I don't think the hair-tearing would be on the author's side. :)
