 NewsLittle Brother option sold to Don Murphy (Natural Born Killers, From Hell, etc)I've been waiting to announce this for months now, while the paperwork went back and forth and now I finally can! Don Murphy, producer of such films as Natural Born Killers and From Hell, has bought a film option on Little Brother. I've talked it over with Don and feel confident that if he makes the movie that he'll do it justice -- I'm guaranteed a spot as a consultant to ensure that it all comes out right, too! For the uninitiated, a film option gives a producer the exclusive right to try to sell the film to a studio, signing up actors, a director and writer, and so on. For every film produced, many are optioned. But all that said, every film that gets made starts out as an option deal. Bottom line: a Little Brother movie isn't a lock, but it's a lot more likely than it was yesterday. 8 Responses to “Little Brother option sold to Don Murphy (Natural Born Killers, From Hell, etc)”Leave a Reply

Cory Doctorow is already a very well-known author, but this is by far his best book yet.

Many congratulations, Cory. This is excellent. And I'm glad you'd be consulting, to make sure it does get done right!
This is fantastic news! I'm also glad to see you retained a consultant spot. Don't let it become another Johnny Mnemonic!

Not sure about the paperback book, but I would sincerely! buy the movie. I would buy a few copies for friends.... (The '!' was used in Hitler's style - I think it looks strange and cool in some way.)
Very cool to hear. Can't wait to see it develope further.
Congrats Cory! Love listening to you on TWiT podcast with
Leo Laporte. Hope some of your fame rubs off on me! Cheers.
Whew.
I was listening to your Radio Berkman interview today and you said you'd sold the film rights for Little Brother to the guy who made Transformers. I was terrified for a few minutes that we were talking about Micheal Bay.
Glad you got the deal (and glad it wasn't him).
