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.
Thanks for the links SunkenCiv! Those were awesome! And no, I'm not Michelle Moran. She was actually my teacher five years ago. But I'm a huge Egyptology buff.
My pleasure.
