The Muraviov Company and Global Epidemic Hit The Market With Family-Friendly “Rex” Film Rights (EXCLUSIVE)

Common Deer Press

As summer starts to wind down, the film rights market is heating back up with a new family-oriented sci-fi book, REX. The YA adventure, co-written by authors Cody B. Stewart, Adam Rocke, and Mark Rogers, is stomping its way onto the film rights market with Kathy Muraviov of The Muraviov Company and Darryl Taja of Global Epidemic leading the charge.

In the book, eleven year-old chaos magnet, TJ, and his tough-as-nails tomboy BFF, Sam, find a large, weird looking egg in the Florida Everglades after a tropical storm rips through. Strange – they can’t figure out what kind of egg it is. Even stranger – creepy men are now staking out T.J.’s house and military helicopters are buzzing their neighborhood. But the strangest thing of all is when the egg hatches. That’s when TJ and Sam realize life as they know it will never be the same.

The three authors of the family-oriented sci-fi book have combined their various backgrounds and talents to craft an unforgettable story. Stewart, who hails from Upstate New York, has an insatiable imagination that has resulted in numerous novels and comic books; Rogers has a lauded career as a travel journalist, experience which has fueled his creativity to write multiple novels and screenplays; and Rocke is an adrenaline junkie who throws his love of adventure into his stories. You can read more about Rex and the authors on the book’s homepage.

With the enduring popularity of the Jurassic Park series of books and films and the resurgence of stories that capture the adventurous spirit and wonder of being a kid, like Stranger Things, Rex is ripe for an adaptation.

The upstart publishing house Common Deer, founded by Ellie Sipila, is releasing Rex on October 5, 2016.
