Hey, Jason, Ginny Good is not a script, it's a book, therefore it's not a "submission," per se. I don't even own the film rights, the publisher does. Go read it and you'll want to make a movie out of it, you'll see, I guarantee. Thanks. G. cc: Randall Wallace

You mean you guys wrote "The Man in the Iron Mask" and "Braveheart?" Wow. You must be pretty old. Go read the book and develop it as in "inside" project; that's fine with me. Thanks. G.

Oh, I do trust you. But you and I both know there are exceptions to every rule that's ever been made. Where do you think thin air comes from? Occasionally from serendipitous e-mails, that's where. Don't read the sucker, that's fine with me, too. I wrote it. That was all I wanted to do. It's the best book that's been published anywhere in the world thus far this century and if you want to go down in history as one of the people who blew the opportunity to make a movie out of it, that's your business. You sound like a pleasant enough fellow, notwithstanding. Thanks. G.

Hey, Jason, I don't take anyone's contact information down. Call it a policy. I'll redact your portions of our e-mails 'cause you own the copyrights to your words fair and square. Everyone's got a no submission policy, are you kidding? Trust me. But the vast majority of people simply don't answer queries at all. You're an exceptional guy. I go through this a lot. I stick people on my little directory primarily to keep a record of the thousands of agents, managers, producers, studio guys, etc. who've dissed the best book that's been published in decades, a book that's eventually going to make the best movie that's been made in decades...it gives me great personal satisfaction, gives posterity a little insight into how closed-minded and unimaginative movie guys were back at the turn of the century and who knows, if you look wrong enough long enough, your policy may someday change. Thanks. G.
