Based on the book by...

[ah-chie]

Just took a look today at the new website of the producers who are doing the TV movie that is based on one of the books that my husband has written. ;D

www.exodusdecoded.com/apProjects.htm

It's the third one listed in the "In Development" section -

"Boxing Day: The Tommy Burns Story (1 x 90 minute) is a MOW developed for CTV and Telefilm Canada. It is Raging Bull meets Mississippi Burning in a gripping true story about Canada's first Heavyweight Champion of the World. When Tommy Burns accepted Jack Johnson's challenge for the title that had always been held by white men, he fought on principle and the world has never been the same."

"Raging Bull meets Mississippi Burning" - I like the sounds of that hype! ;D

Here's a link to the book that started it all -

They have told us that the locations have been selected and that filming should start in the near future.

;D ;D ;D

Just proud as peaches of my guy!

Cheers!

Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing. Hope it all falls right.

2005 could be a big year for both of us, I've got a big meeting with a company doing intro stings on major networks in the UK at the end of this month. It'd be a major coup if I get it. Fingers crossed hey.

Congrats, ah-chie! I'm a sucker for boxing movies, so I'd definitely see it .
