So, a few years ago Dana Brunetti at Trigger Street Productions (Social Network and Captain Philips) got in touch with us after reading our book, REWORK. He loved the themes and the overall story of how our company came to be.
Some time passed and we hadn’t heard anything… Until a week ago. We’re super-excited to let you know that Netflix Originals has decided to take on the project and turn our little book into a feature film!
Martyn Burke was brought on to write the screenplay and Gwyneth Horder-Payton will direct. Filming is supposed to start sometime this spring and we just got these beautiful promo posters in the mail.
It’s rare that companies exercise options like the one they had on this book and we really can’t say how unbelievably excited and flattered we are to have our story told in a whole new way.

on 01 Apr 14This is the first internet April Fool’s joke that had me go, “Wait a minute…”
Well played.
If an actual poster exists, what can I do to get my hands on an autographed copy?

on 02 Apr 14could actually see that as a real movie “based on” real events but exaggerated for more drama and more fun, great poster by the way whoever did that, happy april 1st!
