WB Looks to Rome, Sweet Rome Pitch

The purchase of Des Moines-based author James Erwin’s first script pitch was accomplished with an unusual route: social news aggregator website Reddit.com. Warner Bros. bought Erwin’s pitch Rome, Sweet Rome after Reddit customers chosen to raise his idea up from the site’s webpage. The concept? Contemporary U.S. marine corps by some quirk of fate are moved to The Italian Capital where they have to deal with Roman scores. Since the Marine corps’ presence disturbs history’s timeline, they have to set things back on the right course to come back home. Adam Kolbrenner from Madhouse Entertainment spotted the publish and approached Erwin, a 2-time Risk! champion, to build up his concept for any quick purchase. Kolbrenner will produce together with Hollywood Gangs Gianni Nunnari (300, Immortals). John Ridley will oversee for Hollywood Gang. Chris Gary will shepherd the work for Warner Bros. Erwin’s next book, meanwhile, is past U.S. military actions likely to be released the coming year.
