"Several steps closer to a SABRIEL film . . .
One of the frequent questions that I usually don't adequately answer is about what is happening with a possible SABRIEL film. Well, today I can say a bit more than usual as PUBLISHING NEWS has reported on the "package" that we have put together and will be taking to studios in Hollywood in a few weeks.
That package is:
DIRECTOR: Anand Tucker (HILARY & JACKIE, SHOPGIRL and the original director of THE GOLDEN COMPASS before he left over creative differences)
WRITTEN BY: Dan Futterman (Academy Award nominee for his script of CAPOTE and also well-known actor, most recently in A MIGHTY HEART) and Garth Nix
PRODUCED BY: Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B (Brad Pitt's production company).
I have always said that I wanted to co-write the script and work with people who had made great films and whose work I respected, this team represents the achievement of that goal.
I'll keep you all posted on what happens from here. Obviously we hope it will proceed, but it may not, given the vagaries of the film world.
