Thanks to Stage32 and the Happy Writers, through the pitchfests, I have had 6-7 execs ask to read my trilogy of books (www.childrenofthefifthsun.com). One exec got as far as taking it to his team, but it was turned down (though I have an open door if I write anything else). I also had a general meeting with another exec. One more said that my books were interesting and wants to circle back mid-year. And, I still have three studio execs who have my books for reading. Randomly, I have also just met the General Manager of Double Negative Special Effects (who are working on Transcendence at the moment) at my Muay Thai gym. She loves my books and my wesbsite (I've put a lot into really developing the look and feel of the central theme) and wants me to meet the CEO in the next couple of weeks. All in all, I am just waiting to find that one studio who take the chance to option!

Does my heart good to hear these kinds of stories. Exciting times. Best of luck Gareth!
Your Website is fascinating! I've been following some of that ancient stuff myself (Mayans, Egypt , Atlantis) and feel there's much to be unearthed in old mythology and history, much more interesting than current super hero frenzy. Good luck to your projects!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I hope that one day an inspired movie exec actually reads it and says: yes! I agree on the plethora of movie clones out of late. Time for something original, please!

I wrote a Sci Fi Fantasy based on the Atlantis myth a couple of years ago, problem is that kind of stuff tends to be expensive to produce and studios and producers don't like to entrust uncredited writers with big budget projects. So I've shelved it for the time being. But who knows! Hope for you somebody will fall in love with your work enough to go for it!
