Warners Grabs Rights To '1906'
Warner Bros. has picked up film rights to James Dalessandro's treatment "1906" for development by Barry Levinson's Baltimore Pictures and Paula Weinstein's Spring Creek Prods.
The project is an epic love story that unfolds in San Francisco around the time of the 1906
earthquake.
Baltimore and Spring Creek will produce as part of the companies' deals with Warner Bros., which paid low- against high-six figures. Levinson is reportedly interested in directing the project.
The deal was negotiated by Spring Creek vp development Len Amato, Robert V. Gaulin for Dalessandro, and Peter Miller of PMA Literary and Film Management Inc. Miller will serve as an executive producer on the project.
Dalessandro, who penned the 1994 San Francisco-set mystery novel "Bohemian Heart," will write the book and screenplay for "1906." He has two other screenplays in development, "Citizen Jane" for Hearst Entertainment and an adaptation of "Bohemian Heart" for Catfish Prods.
