Theo of Golden

Based on Theo of Golden

by Allen Levi

Warner Bros Pictures is in negotiations for the feature film rights to Allen Levi‘s breakout novel Theo of Golden, a word-of-mouth juggernaut bestseller that has established the first-time author as a publishing phenomenon as he nears 70. Deal is being papered I’m told, and Tom Hanks is in talks to play the title character. Gil Netter, Gary Goetzman and Hanks will produce, and the author will be executive producer. Jesse Ehrman and Sheila Walcott are overseeing the project for Warner Bros. The team credits literary affairs executive Ian Dalrymple for flagging the project to the studio.
