Cliff Burns’ ‘Kept’ optioned for Hollywood by Twisted Pictures

PS author Cliff Burns writes on his blog that his novella, Kept has been optioned for film by Twisted Pictures / Lion's Gate.

'Kept' was published as one half of our 2003 double-novella publication, Righteous Blood (along with Living With the Foleys which is also currently being adapted into a screenplay) and we described it at the time as "...nothing less than a high-octane thrill-ride, a knowing homage to the work of David Cronenberg and David Lynch and a no-holds-barred assault on our conception of good guys and bad guys, justice, morality and retribution."

If that doesn't sound like prime-quality movie material, I don't know what does. Many congratulations to Cliff, and here's hoping that the project will go into full production as soon as possible. We'll be sure to keep you posted...
