What exactly does it mean when the film rights to a book are sold?
It means that I have entered into an agreement with a production company (LD Entertainment), allowing them to engage in development and production activities (such as commissioning a script) based on the book(s).

When movie rights are optioned does it mean the book will definitely become a movie?
There are no guarantees in the movie business, BUT things are definitely moving in the right direction.
What happens now that the movie rights have been optioned?
A script will be written and refined. Next steps include finding a director, cast and finalizing production financing.
Will you write the script?
No, actually Patrick Sean Smith has been commissioned to write the Hush, Hush script.

I want to audition for the movie, should I contact you?
The casting process has not started nor will it for some time. I will not be the one to contact about auditioning, but if I hear anything about when/where/how to audition I will share the information with you here.
Who will play Patch in the movie?
That is sure to be big news when it happens, but as I mentioned above: Casting has not yet begun.
