Where's 'Skin Trade', the George RR Martin ("Game of Thrones"), MIKP "IP" that was perhaps the MOST TIMELY -- with the GREATEST POTENTIAL?

Acquired 2010,.... but it's 2023 now!

Mike The Pike Entertainment Details IP to Date Including George R.R. Martin’s The Skin Trade, based on the World Fantasy Award Winning Novella


LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) George R.R. Martin’s The Skin Trade is the first project that Mike The Pike optioned rights to as Mike The Pike Productions back in 2010... At that time, George R.R. Martin (GRRM) stated on his blog: “…My werewolf novella “The Skin Trade,” originally published way back when in NIGHT VISIONS 5, has been optioned for film by Mike the Pike Productions And about time. I’ve always thought there was a terrific movie in “The Skin Trade,” but somehow no one has ever optioned it till now. The novella is a horror/ mystery cross set in a decaying rustbelt city and featuring a hot young female private eye and a hypochondriac lycanthrope, how that for high concept? Randi and Willie are still favorites of mine. The novella won the World Fantasy Award too, which is how I got that head of H.P. Lovecraft that looks down over my living room. I hope that Mike the Pike does a kickass job with it…. These things do take time, of course, and we’re still a long way from the cameras rolling…

CEO Mark Newbauer comments, “I will be ever grateful to GRRM for giving MTP a chance on this material, particularly in the midst of what was happening in the background with Game of Thrones, which went on to be one of the most epic shows to have ever graced the screen. As that series comes to an end, we hope to bring forth a new side of George’s work in this supernatural thriller. Details are under wraps; however, we have a notable stake in exploitation of the property as part of a deal wherein we assigned the ownership rights to a party which made financing to exercise the option to purchase possible. This project is highly confidential but I’m confident something great will come of this for us to share in the near future.

NEAR FUTURE?

[] ~13yrs ago they ACQUIRED the IP
[] NINE YEARS LATER, in 2019, the CEO says "something great will come of this for us to share in the NEAR FUTURE"

[] Is it NEAR ENOUGH now? FOUR++ YEARS LATER???

[] Why isn't THIS "EVER GRATEFUL GRRM [content] being MONETIZED?? 13 years later?


[] Why haven't I seen ANY MENTION of it in the AUDITED FILINGS (still going through it... but so far, NOTHING! ZERO!! ZIP!!! ZILCH!!!!)?


JUST THE FACTS PLEASE!
