Lament from Dale

Its 2018; is there any hope of a Pern movie being made in my lifetime? (By the way, I am 65 years old, so please hurry with it….)

Dale,

I guarantee you that if all that was required was a snap of the fingers, a Pern movie would have been made ages ago! Mum would have loved to have seen it.

But we live with the golden rule: “He who has the gold makes the rules.”

In Hollywood, that’s the studios, not authors.

Studios have been interested and optioned the rights to Pern for the past 34 years.

So far none has ever come to fruition.

Maybe some day…!
