Fresh Popcorn

In June, screenwriter Derek Haas established Popcorn Fiction, a website for pulpy short stories, and now Haas and writing partner Michael Brandt have sold one to Hollywood. Shake, a thriller about a Parkinson's-afflicted FBI agent hunting down a killer, has been acquired by Jerry Bruckheimer for seven figures. We'd just like to note that Brandt & Haas's One-Page Screenplay, Messy Life, is still available! I see Zac Efron as teen Braden.
