Madddog, I re-posted your sticky article just now because it was tweeted from Platinum's Twitter account 23 minutes ago! Nice article and a nice way for people to be aware of it's presence.
1. Platinum is now ready to build a franchise plan around another of its books, "Atlantis Rising."
2. Platinum now controls the rights to that property after a film version was initially set up at DreamWorks with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci on board to produce (they also co-produced "Cowboys & Aliens").
3. A revamped version of the book arrives in August to pave the way for new pic. Rosenberg wants to introduce a version that hasn't been seen before.
4. Everybody always wants to see Atlantis as Shangri-la or (its inhabitants) as bad guys," he said. "Why do they have to be bad guys?"
