Page to Screen: A New Conroy & More Meg Cabot
By Rachel Deahl -- Publishers Weekly, 11/12/2008 2:36:00 PM
One thing the scouts are buzzing about this week is the latest from Pat Conroy. The Prince of Tides author's new one, South of Broad, is being shopped for film by Lynn Pleshette (and is due out from the author's longtime publisher, Doubleday, in August 2009). The book, which is set in Charleston and follows an 18-year-old named Leopold Bloom King, has good film lineage, Conroy's lit agent, Marly Rusoff, points out. All of the author's novels (excluding one, The Boo, which he wrote when he was still a cadet at The Citadel) have been made into movies.
On the sales side, Bill Contardi has just closed a deal for film rights on Meg Cabot's All-American Girl series. (There are two books in the series, American Girl and Ready or Not, about a 15-year-old middle child named Samantha who lives in Washington, D.C.; Harper published and Laura Langlie is Cabot's lit agent.) Contardi sold rights to producers Joan Singleton (Because of Winn-Dixie) and Harry Winer (House Arrest) and the deal, it happens, is one of many on the film side for the prolific Cabot. With Girl, Cabot now has seven titles in various stages of production: How to Be Popular is at MTV; Avalon High is at the Disney Channel; The Mediator is with producer Julia Pistor; The Heather Wells Mysteries is at ABC Family, as is Jinx; and the Queen of Babble is with producer Jeff Sharp of Sharp Independent.
Contardi has also just closed a feature film deal with the German film and television company UFA for Tom Gabbay's Jack Teller thriller series. The books--Berlin Conspiracy, Lisbon Crossing and Tehran Conviction are published by William Morrow--and Contardi, with Brandt & Hochman on this, reps Gabbay for literary and dramatic rights.

Oops, sorry ! I meant to post that, Meg said before (concerning a film being made for this novel):
But according to FAQ, it has been optioned as a feature film. There is one (or more) of Meg's works in the process of being filmed at the moment, I'm sure.

"No, because there is not going to be a movie of “All-American Girl”. I currently hold the movie rights. The way I can tell that I currently hold the film rights is that no one has paid me for them. I would know if someone had paid me for them, because there would be a lot more money in my bank account than there currently is."
