Wild – Guest Script Review

Wild-Script-ReviewAn excerpt from our guest script review for Wild which will be available 12/31/14:

1.) Marketability of Idea

Kudos to Reese Witherspoon and her producing partner Bruna Papandrea. They are batting 1000% after acquiring WILD and GONE GIRL in galleys before publication and before the books became international bestsellers!

Unlike GONE GIRL, a dark twisty thriller tailor made for cinematic adaptation, a memoir like WILD can be tricky to adapt. That said, there has always been a market for true life adventure stories of self-discovery and self-realization.

Recent examples: TRACKS, EAT PRAY LOVE, INTO THE WILD

This type of character centric movie has obvious appeal to actors and can be Oscar bait.

Rumors have the modest budget in the mid to high seven figures which, if true, means it is well on its way to profitability: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=wild2014.htm
