I really don't believe some people. I mean, who in their right minds would throw away an opportunity to have their book turned into a film. I'd ABSOLUTELY jump at the chance if a film company approached me about mine .... But ESPECIALLY if they asked me to write a book for them. Wow! What a priviledge.Yet some people just don't seem to be be bothered. For example, one Allison Pearson.

The Miramax Film Corp. has taken legal action against writer and columnist Allison Pearson for breach of contract for failing to deliver a novel.
.
The Miramax film studio says Pearson, a columnist for Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, received $700,000 advance royalties five years ago for all prerogatives on an unpublished novel, "I Think I Love You."
.
The law suit, recorded on Friday in Manhattan, said although Pearson received the money in August 2003 under a two-year contract, she neglected to hand over the novel and ignored the requirements by Miramax about the novel’s location.
.
For chrissake! $700,000? What’s up with Ms. Pearson? In fact, what’s up with Miramax? If they’re that damn desperate, why don’t they contact ME? I’ll GLADLY write the book.
.
I’ll give them exactly what they want, when they want and in whatever colour they wish.
.
Are you listening Mr. Miramax?
