hoping for hollywood

Just in case you missed it in my fall newsletter (please sign up to be on the mailing list!):

NYT bestselling author Grace Lin's Newbery Honor WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON, an Asian 'Wizard of Oz'-like adventure about a young girl on a quest to find the Old Man of the Moon has been optioned to Original Force, LTD with Penney Finkelman Cox and Sandra Rabins producing and screenwriter Robert Reece attached to pen the adaptation, the deal was brokered by Rebecca Sherman at Writers House and Jason Dravis of Monteiro Rose Dravis Agency, Inc. on behalf of Lin.
Does that mean there's going to be a Where the Mountain Meet the Moon movie?!?

Well, not exactly.

From what I understand, selling a movie option is akin to getting a lottery ticket. Lots of options are bought, very few movies are really made. So, the chances are still pretty slim that there will be a movie.

However, selling the option does mean there IS a chance, right?  So, why not think about the most important question...What would I wear to the premiere?

idea for this photo completely stolen from Barbara O'Connor who will actually really have a movie to get dressed up for!

I'm leaning towards the red. What do you think?
