HistoryWomensBasketball · Posted: 03/28/17 3:06 pm ::: Barnstorming America - has been optioned for film

Hope ok to post here. Pro basketball and some very positive news

The film rights to Barnstorming America have been optioned by a production company who have credits in some well known movies

Option is just first step. May or may not progress but exploring possibilities of film and / or documentary.

Headed to Dallas for the Final Four with players from several different teams for a book signing.

Book is on Amazon and I think discounted at the moment.

Regardless of outcome, very nice to see someone recognize Women's Basketball

Congrats John, very cool. Good luck finding more than a couple of white Hollywood actresses that can play vaguely convincing basketball, though Wink

For something that began as a little quest to find out how we got from my Grandmothers Playing in the depression for a soap factory to the days of watching Lobo and UConn to Carolyn Jones and the Blizzard of the ABL, it has been a journey I never would have thought of.

This sport has some great history, Stories and players. There is so much more out there I hope others will help preserve

Thank you. I have been pleasantly surprised. I have been in talks with 7 screenwriters have shown significant interest.

Yet glad to try this route. Knowing chances are still not great but exist
