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?

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.

I don't know if Cathy Rich bought the movie rights to Ghost Rider with the intention of burying it from ever actually being made, or if it just worked out that way, but in either case, we're forever in her debt.
