According to Dallas Jenkins, Jerry's son and the co-founder with him of
Jenkins Entertainment, Jerry's novel
Riven is to be a movie.
Says Dallas at
his blog:
"We've also decided that
Riven, the book my Dad wrote that came out last year (and for my money, is his best book), is going to be the second film in the Jenkins/Pureflix partnership. We will be talking to screenwriters in the next couple of weeks and hope to be in production by the end of the year. I'm actually going to send a letter to Joe Eszterhas, the famous screenwriter of
Basic Instinct,
Flashdance,
Music Box, and
Jagged Edge, among others, who recently became a Christian. I know it's a long shot, but I think he'd be interested in some of the films we're doing. His books
are incredible (any aspiring filmmaker should read The Devil's Guide to Hollywood), including his recent one, Crossbearer, which is about his conversion. Maybe
Riven will strike a chord, or perhaps Youngest Hero, which is about baseball, one of his great loves. We'll see."
