Marc Platt (C'79, Glee Club) will be co-producing a live action movie to author Jason Carter Eaton's children's book The Facttracker."The Facttracker works in the Factory finding facts which the people of Traakerfaxx then supply to the world. When the just small enough boy, who tragically has no personal facts, is accidentally involved in blowing up the Factory, the Facttracker’s sinister brother Ersatz steps in, sets up a Liebrary, imprisons the Facttracker and convinces the people of Traakerfaxx that selling lies is much more fun and lucrative than selling facts. Can the just small enough boy set things right before the whole world is filled with nothing but lies? This is a great book that asks a very important question (What is the nature of truth itself?) without being too serious—well, actually without being serious at all—okay, let’s face it, the book is downright goofy, but also very fun and exciting to read. You won’t want to put it down until you finish and find out what’s going to happen!"More about the book here!

This month's contest is all about interactivity..and it's ending tomorrow night!"I can honestly say that Cloverfield is unlike any movie you've ever seen. It's an epic story with heart, shot through a narrow, unconventional lens, with characters you actually root for and relate to. There's also a giant monster in it, I've heard."Get the contest details here...+/-

Author Laura Dave (C'99, Writers House) has a lot to celebrate.
Both books are in development as feature films at Universal Studios. More specifically, "Divorce" is being produced by Echo Films, Kristin Hahn and Jennifer Aniston's new production company. "London" is set up at Mandalay Pictures and Type A, Reese Witherspoon's production company."'Divorce' centers on a commitment-shy woman, Maggie, who goes home to meet her fiance's parents the weekend they announce they are separating after 35 years of marriage. It is told from Maggie's point of view; and from the point of view of Gwyn, her future mother-in-law. They find themselves on the opposite ends of their relationships asking the same question: how do you know the people closest to you?"Find out how Laura got her start, her advice for aspiring writers and her "horror story" that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy (plus stories from other Penn authors)!
"'London'" focuses on a young woman who returns to New York for the first time in three years for her brother's wedding, only to find out that he believes he is in love with someone who is not his fiance. Brother and sister set out on an 11th hour road trip to find this other woman, in the hopes that it will help him make a decision about who he wants to spend his life with.

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search. It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research. From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
