Done Deal I

Har köpt in mig på hemsidan DONE DEAL PRO, en betalsite med fokus på Hollywood produktionsvärld.

En mycket underhållande plats där man får tillgång till fakta om alla de dealar som gjorts inom film och tv. Om man vill se vad för typer av filmer som är "inne" för tillfället är detta the place to be!

Man måste dock ta dessa fakta med en nypa salt: bara för att en idé blivit såld (ibland handlar det om att en idé sålts på en effektiv pitch) så innebär det inte per automatik att den omedelbums blir producerad. Nä, den kan mycket väl ha ett DEVELOPMENT HELL framför sig...

Eftersom siten Done Deal inte har rättigheterna på fakta om gjorda dealar, så finns det ingenting som hindrar dessa fakta att arbeta sig vidare på nätet.
Till exempel in på min blogg :)

Så för WFTMs läsares höga nöjes skull kommer jag att då och då publicera nya och intressanta dealar som så småningom (förhoppningsvis) kommer att hitta vägen till våra biodukar och dvd-spelare.

Denna första laddning filmer-på-g är strictly horror. Det är inte mycket fakta som presenteras, endast en logline. Ibland finns mer matnyttigt under rubben "more". Men ofta ser man vart det är på väg på dessa korta rader.
