Nefertiti book to become movie?
Publishers Weekly ^ | Sarah

Posted on 08/09/2006 9:41:54 PM PDT by sarahgonul

According to Publishers Weekly, Michelle Moran just sold a novel about NEFERTITI to a major publishing house for a six figure deal. According to people I've spoken to in the industry, the book is being shopped around and several studios have been interested. I haven't seen the book and I don't think it comes out until July 2007 (at least that's what Moran's website says: www.michellemoran.com). But if the book is turned into a movie, at least the script should be decent. I wonder who they'll get to take the lead role? Last year there was talking of Halle Berry playing her. I wonder if that still would be the case, depending on which studio adapts the book.

Is this what they call a viral marketing campaign?

Welcome to FR, I hope your stay is nice.

She didn't even post the photo of the statue (head and neck) of the beautiful Nefertiti...who has always had, to me, an uncanny resembance to Audrey Hepburn.

Are you pushing this book because you are involved with it?

It is always suspect, here, when a newbie signs up and immediately posts a damned vanity.

The smart money is betting that "sarahgonul"'s pen name is actually Michelle Moran

This calls to mind that old Robin Williams line from one of his early albums:

"In the words of Nefertiti: 'Not tonight, it's my pyramid' !!"

Last year there was talking of Halle Berry playing her.

I thought Rachel Weisz did a good job already.
