ShowMeDontTell Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Wasn't sure where to post this but recently in a discussion of Bohemian Rhapsody on FB a good friend and solid Rush lover said he heard Neil Peart sold the rights to one of his books to a film producer. I couldn't find any evidence. Unsubstantiated rumor or fact? It wouldn't be a biopic but pretty cool,nonetheless... Anyone else hear of it?

I couldn't find any evidence. Unsubstantiated rumor or fact? It wouldn't be a biopic but pretty cool,nonetheless... Anyone else hear of it? Last month it was announced that a Hollywood producer and writer had purchased the tv and film rights for Clockwork Lives; the book is a sequel to Clockwork Angels and Neil co wrote it with Kevin J. Anderson. So maybe that's what your friend heard?? And I hadn't ever heard this, but apparently Buddy Rich's daughter, Cathy, bought the film rights to Ghost Rider some 13 years ago. I'm guessing not much was ever done with that. https://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2018/10/12/5159/Kevin-J.-Anderson-and-Neil-Pearts-Clockwork-Lives-optioned-for-TV-and-film-production https://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2006/02/06/231/Neil-Pearts-Ghost-Rider-movie-and-tv-rights Edited November 11, 2018 by blueschica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
