Walking thru a hotel this am and saw on the CNN crawl the headline above. Any news? I skimmed the message boards and didn't see anything.

You mean other than this?

Skimming is sometimes bad.

I saw it on CNN crawl this morning too! and I said out loud, to others in the gym, 'Stop making every show a movie!' But this could be good. Well they all *could* be good...

I went through three full pages of the message board, and not one mention of JB/film. Was probably on the 4th at the time I wrote this. But anyway -- selling the rights which actually goes for a LOT of never-filmed shows and seeing a repeated crawl on CNN saying "'Jersey Boys' comes to big screen" are different things. (LOTS of shows "sell the rights" as somebody's place-holder without the national news mentioning it)
