Aussie producer options US young adult novel
Quote:
Glines has just sold an option on her novel While It Lasts to O’Toole, who recently launched production banner Red Rock Pictures after splitting with his producing partner at Three Kings Pictures.
O’Toole was alerted to the novel in 2013 by young Aussie actor Addam Bramich, who was keen to get the rights as he saw the project as a potential starring vehicle for himself.
The third in a series of Sea Breeze books, While It Lasts is set in in the steamy coastal Alabama town of Sea Breeze, where an interconnected group of older teens hook up and break up.
The protagonist is Cage York, who looked set for a free ride to college for baseball until a DUI. His coach orders him to spend the summer baling hay, where he meets uptight, snarky brunette Eva Brooks. Eva's long-time beau Josh has just been killed along with four other soldiers near Baghdad.
O’Toole will produce and write the screenplay, Glines has agreed to serve as associate producer and Bramich will co-produce. The actor, whose credits include Blinder, The Slap and several short films, is keen to play York.
