$1 million movie idea

In John Hodgman's Book, The Areas of My Expertise, he suggests that a sure fire way to make a million dollars as a screen writer is to write a movie based on the premise "All Animals v. All Humans."

Well, it looks like someone took him up on the challenge. I just read on Sci-Fi Wire that Columbia Pictures has just bought the screenplay, from a first time screenwriter, for that EXACT premise!

Sadly, in today's economy, it did NOT come out to $1 million. The guy will simply have to settle for a sale "estimated at mid six figures."

I can only assume that Mr. Hodgman will receive a "Story By" credit.

that is all.
