Reeling and Dealing
FROM PUBLISHING
TRENDS (APRIL 2004)
FOR THE MOST RECENT REELING AND DEALING, CLICK HERE!
The
books-to-film biz was a mystic river of movement this
year as Joel Gotler & Associates teamed
up with Scott Steindorffs Stone Village Pictures
and Mandalay Bay Resort Group President and CFO
Glenn Schaeffer to form the Intellectual Property
Group; Richard Green made his move to CAA;
and Judi Farkas and Irene Webb set up
their own shops. By most accounts, its not simply feast
or famine when it comes to selling film rights its
feast or starvation. Deals require more goldplating
(directors, writers, stars) than ever before and most
occur at the high end or entry level, with not much
in between. Here is a relatively comprehensive list
of agents who, in addition to representing screenwriters,
directors, and others in the film world, sell film and
dramatic rights to books on behalf of other literary
agents and publishers.
