Vampire Apocalypse Film Rights Sold
The first book in the Vampire Apocalypse series, A WORLD TORN ASUNDER (2006), by Irish writer and ITW member Derek Gunn, has been optioned for film and by LA-based producer/screenwriter Richard Finney.
A movie script has been penned by Richard Finney and Franklin Guerrero, based on the book. Their adaptation led to a recent partnership on the project with producer, Robert Lawrence (Die Hard: With a Vengence, Clueless, The Last Castle). Currently the project is in development and is being represented by the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) who is packaging the project for the studios.
The second book in this series, DESCENT INTO CHAOS, was released in October 2008. The third book, FALLOUT, is due out in 2009. For more information, please visit Derek's website at http://www.derekgunn.com.
