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!

It had to happen. I'm so glad it did! This is awesome news, and I'm so happy for you!

I'm hoping that we all get to see Feed on the big screen. Someday, when it's done right.

User [livejournal.com profile] filkertom referenced to your post from Yay Seanan! (http://filkertom.livejournal.com/1543858.html) saying: [...] so it affects the first-week sales. And... Seanan reports that the film rights have been optioned [...]

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)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Giggle. And, to top it all off, Barnes & Noble seems to have fixed the bug which prevented access to ebooks on release day! I won't be sleeping tonight!

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).

The only thing you can do to help it happen is keep buying books. :)

Just keep buying books, to show that the audience exists!

I will. I'm also telling as many people as I can how good your books are.

Hail! I will celebrate this joyous event by pre-ordering the boxed-set edition of Newsflesh!

Also, have you read Peter Watts' story of his dance with necrotizing fasciitis?
