Book Scoop: MY BOOK WAS OPTIONED!!!!!

Huge, fabulous news to share… POPULAZZI WAS OPTIONED AS A FILM!!!!

Okay, despite the all-caps, I recognize that's kind of nebulous to anyone who doesn't know what exactly an "option" entails… which included me, several months ago.  Basically, it means that a wise and wonderful production company — in this case the fabulous Wind Dancer Films — read Populazzi and thought, "Hey, this would make a great movie.  In fact, we love it so much that we're going to buy the right to put all the pieces together and get a studio on board so we can make that movie!"

Which is what they did.  What I did was a giant Happy Dance around the room, pausing only to type out this blog post and squeal with delight at the below:

"The book is hilarious — the perfect mix of darkly twisted, sexy, and gut wrenchingly real," said Dete Meserve, President of Wind Dancer. "We were immediately drawn to it, and couldn't stop flipping pages. We knew right away we wanted to bring it to the screen."

YAY!!!  Gotta do another Happy Dance lap.  (As opposed to a Happy Lap Dance, which would be most different indeed.)
