What's been going on since I spoke w/ Gregg on Tuesday?  Have you guys made any headway?   Please give me an update.

Ben Haber (the film producer) said he'd want a full year's exclusivity if he writes up a brief doc to use to pitch the project to studios with--a full year's exclusivity without a penny down as an option fee.  To me this is a non-starter; with your permission I'd like to advise Matt Snyder to say, thanks but no thanks:  you can have a three month exclusive for free in exchange for working up a treatment, at which point the manuscript will be shopped, or he can simply wait and see the ms when everybody else does.  There's no advantage to our giving him a free exclusive option.

I'm working on getting the contract & money as soon as possible--though still not soon enough, obviously.

Gregg, I've had no response from the German lady.
