Film rights sold for JOHN DIES AT THE END!
« on: February 11, 2008, 12:30:06 PM »
From David Wong's latest interview:

Quote
The ink is barely dry on the contract, but... I have in fact just sold the film rights to JDatE, to Don Coscarelli (Bubba Ho-Tep, the Phantasm series). He contacted me late last year after he got hold of a copy of the paperback. And I think anybody who's seen Bubba Ho-Tep can tell you JDatE is in good hands.

How awesome will that be if/when the film gets made?!
