At 9:21am on May 19, 2008, Michael Chatlien said…: Great news about selling your screenplay. As far as getting involved in a Dean Koontz type of project, I'm not really into the horror genre. So it wouldn't be a good fit for me.

Best of luck, though, on your endeavors.

I still like writing, I mean that's my passion, but I would like to write and direct an adaptation of Dean Koonzt's Intensity and If I can get the rights would you help me get things started?
