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!

SQUEE! That's awesome, Seanan. For your sake, I hope the movies get made and end up big box office draws. For me: this probably sounds weird, but I love your books too much to watch movies made from them. I have my own ideas of what everyone and everything looks like, and movies made from books I've loved never live up to my mental images.

Good luck, though! =o)

I totally hear where you're coming from with that (although I'll admit, if they make a movie, I hope EVERYONE will go, just so it makes a bazillion dollars and everything I've ever written will get optioned).
