I sold my first script when I was 21 - this kids' adventure movie that never got made. I just bought that one back, actually. I'm pretty psyched about it. ↗
The movie, if I recall, didn't have to do with the television show because there were concerns from everyone that they didn't want it to be like the TV show. ↗
I praise CBS for taking a risk, which is always the price you pay for opportunity. This is not standard movie of the week storytelling. I think movies of the week have fallen into a niche and that isn't my niche. ↗
