[Jean Benioff]

Looks as if I’ve found some knowledgible peers who’ve traveled the road before me, let us see then if my current delema has a cure?

I have an adaptation of my hand with a budget of $200 million, with financial backing, casting and crew outlined. I have submitted my adaptation to it’s literary author her agents & lawyers. Any and all responses I have recieved are of inhumane legal gargin to the order of: Strict Policies Against Unsolicited Submissions/has not, will not be read… Another from the authors lawyer went so far to say I must abandon all work and cease distribution of said adaptation to all other parties, as said works are a direct infringment upon the authors copyrights. To which the author wrote me directly stating they were in agreement with thier lawyer and I should not reply to the author directly or authors agent but take all matters up with said authors attorney…

I have no idea how to resolve this situation. I need to aquire these rights yet there is no way to make a proposal.

Any ideas, experience or resolution would be greatly appreciated.
