I am thinking of writing a script based on the novel....


Gemini71 here,

Although I am busy writing a book right now(I ain't making this up), I am thinking of either writing a script based on the novel, set in contemporary times, or writing a movie adapatation of the book itself. Maybe I will try to do both. I'll keep you posted on which of the three creative choices I decide to go with.

Regards,
Gemini71.

Hi how's the screenplay coming?

I'll be very interested to learn how you purchase the rights to Austen's property. Do you have "a particular friend" in the Austen family, or are you going to write on spec?

Perhaps I am mistaken in thinking that there is an Austen estate that allows or disallows the use of Jane's intellectual property.

You are mistaken. Austen has been dead for almost 200 years. All of her work is public domain.

And I apologize for being unjustly sarcastic. My post was rude, and I'm usually not. I really am sorry, because I can't imagine why I wrote it.
