7th Son optioned for motion picture development

7th Son: Descent (version 2.0)I’ve been sitting on this news for months, but just now received the green light to share: the 7th Son trilogy has been optioned by Warner Bros. for motion picture development.

This is gobsmackingly awesome news, as I — and likely you — always dreamed of the possibility of seeing the likes of John, Father Thomas, Kilroy2.0 and John Alpha on the big screen. We’re one step closer to that.

To be clear: Warner Bros.’ option of the 7th Son trilogy does not guarantee that a film series will be made, but the deal entitles the studio to exercise the right to do so sometime in the next three years. The possibility alone is terrific.

Big props go to my film agent, Joel Gotler, for his relentless championing of 7th Son during this process. Also mad props go to my literary agent Kristin Lindstom, who referred me to Joel.

Will Kilroy2.0 someday be evvvvrywhere in movie theaters? Only time — and your continued support of my work — will tell. Thank you for endless encouragement and evangelism. I’ll spill more deets in my next “Hey, Everybody!” podcast.

Warner Bros…. can you believe that shit? :)

    if kilroy 2.0 needed hackers help for real, the time would be NOW.
    GARY MCKINNON is kilroy 1.0. He is an original. he is the starting block for all white hat hackers. many of you are 2.0 level and know what he saw and more. if you work for the us gov then you to have the choice too. follow the line,safe yourself or submit like the masses. You are the masses fool. Wake up now. kilroy needs you,and you are not alone. there is enough hacking energy out there to realy screw the system. 60 years imprison if you agree to hide the truth and extradite this man.last chance to take back the world and fuzz the conspiracy. the only technology that they control is the stuff of the future yet the programming is now. if i say takem down now. we would all face 60 years and this would become an act of terrism. what more of an excuse could there be for all of us. if your gonna hit them then We would have to strike heavier than ever calculated on. i wll post what i have concerning Xsecrets . if you want to play then head your chat kilroy2.1 and 7th son will find you.
