Follow on Google News | Vicki Rocco of Modern Family Buys the Movie Rights For Novel Real SantaVicki Rocco has bought the movie rights of Bestselling Novelist William Hazelgroves' Book Real Santa for her production company Small But Mighty Productions Real Santa is the story of a man who becomes the real Santa Claus
By: William Hazelgrove Real Santa led off with a starred review in Booklist. "If someone doesnt make a movie out of this book there is something wrong with the world." This tantalizing quote brought studios knocking at William Hazelgrove's door even before the book was published. "We had about ten calls inquiring about the rights six months before the book came out," Mr. Hazelgrove www.williamhazelgrove.com remembered. "And then I got an email when I was out looking at Christmas trees from Vicki and she said she had only read half but thougth it woudld be a great movie." The reason Hollywood is interested in Real Santa according to the publisher John Koehler is because it take a simple concept and puts a modern spin on it. "This guy is an engineer and he figures out how to actually be the real santa. How you actually land reindeer on the roof and go down a chimmney and then fly off again. He he pulls it off is the story." Ms. Rocco would like to have the movie ready to go by next Christmas. "It is simply a great Christmas story and who doesn't want to watch that. People love Christmas movies." Contact: Jim Turner William Hazelgrove 3300 W Main Chicago, IL 708-466-7601 pantonne@gmail.com http://www.williamhazelgrove.com End
