Here's another book which has been sold for movie adaptation before its official release:
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP, the novel
from a charming young British scientist
Steve Watson, will be made into a movie directed by
Rowan Joffe, produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, and will possibly star
Cate Blanchett or
Kate Winslet. The novel tells the story of a woman who wakes up to discover that rather than being young, free and single she's married to the stranger next to her in bed and her body has aged beyond recognition. She then realizes she is suffering from an amnesia and her memory has only a 24 hour span. 12 publishers have lead a war for this novel, and I can also reveal that your dear
Dezz is currently translating
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP for the readers in Serbia :))
So, it's official, visual genius
Tarsem Singh (THE FALL, THE CELL, IMMORTALS) will direct Relativity Media's
SNOW WHITE film. Rivaling Universal's
SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, this film will be more close to the traditional story in which Snow White bands together with a gang of seven quarrelsome dwarves to reclaim what is rightly hers after her evil stepmother kills her father and destroys the kingdom.
