I remember reading somewhere on the web back like 2004 the earliest, these two novels would become movies. The two novels are Burnt Sienna by David Morrell and There Are No Spies by Bill Granger. Whatever happen to them becoming movies?

Hollywood buys and develops a lot of material with the intention of making them movies, but precious few ever get made. Wish I knew the percentage. It's gotta be incredibly low. Maybe 5%.

Really? 5%? I thought it'd be higher. Is this recent or has it always been that way?
