WOW! Hey, Mark, congratulations on the Miki Falls movie deal with Paramount! This is very exciting news indeed! Isn't there a saying that good things come in threes? With the announcement of Mark illustrating The Enormous Egg and now the Miki movie announcement, there has gotta be one more big announcement coming, right? Well, if there isn't, I think these two will make Mark and all his fans very happy! Once again, CONGRATULATIONS! For more information, go to Mark's site at: www.markcrilley.com/The Variety article making the movie announcement can be found at: www.variety.com/article/VR1117990007.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

Thanks for the congrats, Dan! Yes, it's an amazing piece of good news; let's cross our fingers and hope Brad Pitt & Co. actually make this thing go into production. Even if they don't, though, I will be very pleased by their vote of confidence in Miki Falls and the strength of its story.
I'll keep you all posted if there are any further developments!

Okay, so this is a case of the option being picked up, so it's a step up. Anyone (Mark included) know what the odds are for something at this stage actually making it to finished product? I know that the odds are rather long for those merely at the "optioned" level.

I think a lot of stories get optioned nowadays... And most of those options do just run out (from what I've read) and the rights go back to the creator after a year or two...
So I guess while the Option doesn't necessarily mean it's going into full production anytime soon, it is at least a step closer. Plus, there's a script writer attached to it already, so that's always good, too...!

Anytime you get a script writer so early in the game is indeed a positive sign. It shows that they have enthusiasm and confidence in the material. However, I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to what the odds are of Miki actually making it to the screen.
Hmmm... I wonder how many of Brad Pitt's production company's options turned into actual movies?

Congrats on getting "optioned".
As others have said, it's a step up.... of course Elfquest went quite a bit further than optioned, and it still never happened.
But you can always hope!
