Double deal for David Rensin

| 3 Comments

The author of The Mailroom and the forthcoming The Little Stuff Matters Most (with Bernie Brillstein) has had a good week. Rensin's latest project All for a Few Perfect Waves: The Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora sold twice: the book to William Morrow and the film rights to Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions, for a film to star diCaprio with D. V. DeVincentis (High Fidelity) adapting. The agents doing the deeds were Brian DeFiore at DeFiore and Company and, for the film rights, Rob Carlson at William Morris. All via Publishers Lunch, which also reports the sale of Erich Krauss's Wall of Flame: A Fire Crew's Historic Battle to Save Southern California, about the Lassen Hotshots, sold to Wiley.
