Not at the moment. Midnight Nation is available, and it's one of those
things I might spec out on my own after a while, and Rising Stars just
ended its option period with MGM. There are a couple of studios nosing
around the edges of the thing, but we'll have to see. And yes, I
control the film and TV rights to both of those.
