    I hope they at least paid you some decent money for the option.

    I am surprized that somebody didn't have the idea sooner to be honest.

    I frigging hope so. The end is hard though. Maybe call it a day after his victory over Fulton, hint at some future fights and then jog on to his death bed?

    Story is made for a movie other than that, tbh.

    The cast is incredible.

    But the report is all over the shop. Sure they'll get the story from the book and it'll be class.

    With this story they're pushing for Oscars, let's be real.

    Clay :clap:

    Now let's see someone option the Langford book ;)

    You know, there is a screenplay writer that has contacted me in the past few weeks about the possibility of optioning the Langford book. But nothing serious yet, he's still mulling it over.

    Well done Clay.

    With Sam Rothwell onboard it cant fail to be a hit.

    just one question. What are ya gonna do when Hollywood comes beckoning you to write a sequel? Are we gonna have another 'Bobby Ewing in the shower' opening?:hey
