And I know you mentioned that this one, the children’s series, has been optioned, you said, by Dreamworks?
It has been. Optioned by Dreamworks Animation.
And, how about any of your other books?
I’ve had offers on Mistborn, actually offers on Mistborn and on Elantris , that we have turned down. We’re searching for the right project to do it. If I get the right—meaning somebody that I really think could make it—the people who offered on it before, I didn’t think could actually make the movie. We had the feeling they were just trying to snatch up rights to keep a hold of them, and then hopefully it would get big and they could resell them later. They didn’t seem like they were serious about making a movie. Fortunately, I’m in the position in life where I just don’t have to take the money. If someone offers me money, I can actually afford to say no. And in this case, I said no. With Dreamworks, it’s a great company. They’ve done the Shrek movies, Kung Fu Panda. It was a great director, the director who directed Over the Hedge . And the producer was one of the producers on the Lemony Snicket movie. And I just thought, these guys can actually make a movie, they can make a good one. So we said yes.
