\"Falling\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably never heard of T.J. Newman<\/strong>, and until a few days ago, Hollywood hadn\u2019t either. But the rookie author is currently on the minds of several major players who are all jockeying for the rights to adapt her debut novel, Falling<\/strong><\/em>, into a film or TV show. The book, which is set on an airplane, has been described as \u201cSpeed<\/em> at 35,000 feet\u201d and sounds like a throwback to the kind of thriller that used to be commonplace in the 1990s, but that we\u2019d love to see make a large scale comeback.
<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> says that \u201cmore than 14 major studios, networks, streamers, and top filmmakers are pursuing screen rights\u201d to Newman\u2019s book, which was written on an iPad and on the backs of airplane napkins during her red-eye route when she was working in that industry. Here\u2019s the premise of Falling<\/em>:<\/p>\n

140-plus passengers on a crowded\u00a0flight from New York to LA don\u2019t yet know that a half-hour before takeoff, their pilot\u2019s family has been kidnapp<\/a>ed. Now, in order for his family to live, the pilot must follow orders and crash their plane. While much of the story takes place in the air, there is also said to be a relentless FBI agent trying to save the family on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hollywood used to make movies<\/a> like this all the time, but as studios became less willing to take chances on mid-budget projects and instead began inching toward primarily making movies with budgets that are either sub-$10 million or $200 million-plus, these types of movies started to disappear. That\u2019s a shame, because they were a great way to let movie stars be charming and effective without wearing tights or a cape.<\/p>\n

As of right now, at least two formal offers have been made to hopefully bring this book to the screen \u2013 one by a studio for a film version, and one by a network hoping to make a limited series. Unfortunately, we\u2019re not sure exactly which studios, networks, streamers, or \u201ctop filmmakers\u201d are vying for the rights. I\u2019d love to see somebody like Bong Joon-ho, Alfonso Cuaron, or Emerald Fennell take a crack at a story like this.<\/p>\n

Of course, airplane thrillers seem en vogue at the moment thanks to the Kaley Cuoco-starring The Flight Attendant<\/em>, which aired its first season on HBO Max and recently scored nominations for multiple Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and Critics\u2019 Choice Television Awards, as well as a Writers Guild of America Award for Best New Series.<\/p>\n
