Back in April, we wrote here about a trio of brave and persistent film-makers who were attempting to raise $2.1 million to make a movie about the convicted mass-murdering abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Since Kickstarter was unwilling to allow them to use that crowd-funding source, Ann McElhinny, Phelim McAleer and Magdalena Segieda went to Indiegogo, and they were wildly successful, raising a record $2.24 million, the most ever raised for a film via Indiegogo!
Yesterday, they announced some very exciting news, and readers of ‘Two Heads…‘ will be especially pleased, I’m sure:
Andrew Klavan has been signed to write the screenplay for the movie.
From Lifenews.com:
“…Andrew has written a number of internationally bestselling crime novels such as True Crime, later adapted for a film directed and starring Clint Eastwood and Don’t Say A Word which starred Michael Douglas. As a screenwriter, Klavan wrote A Shock to the System, which starred Michael Caine, and One Missed Call, starring Ed Burns and Shannyn Sossamon.
Andrew said: “This is so much more than a job of work for me. As I’ve begun to get into the research materials, it’s started to come home to me that we’ve all taken on a huge responsibility. The women who were brutalized by this Gosnell monster — they can tell their stories. But all his victims, all those babies — we’ve got to figure out a way to speak for them somehow.“
In a lengthy writing career Klavan has been nominated for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award five times and has won twice. He has recently published a bestselling series of thriller novels for young adults, The Homelanders, and his YA novel If We Survive was nominated for an International Thriller Writers Award. His latest novel for adults, Werewolf Cop, is due out next spring.
His essays and op-eds on politics, religion, movies and literature have appeared in theWall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The LA Times, and elsewhere. His 2008 WSJ op-ed “What Bush and Batman Have in Common,” topped the Technorati list as the most-read online piece of the day. He has also produced several popular political satire video series, including “Klavan on the Culture,” for PJTV.com, “A Very Serious Commentary,” for Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze.com and his current series “The Revolting Truth,” for TruthRevolt.org…”
Since Klavan’s video commentaries are some of our very favorites here on this blog [for instance, this one, and this classic], of course we are jumping-up-and-down, dancing-in-the-street excited about this.And when we recover from our unusual exertion, we’ll probably write some more about it.
Till then, keep praying for this important film project!
Two Heads are Better Than One 
This IS a story that must be told, and from the perspective of EVERY victim upon who Gosnell perpetrated his heinous acts. It will be “interesting” to see the reaction from our friends on the Left, Planned Parenthood, etc.
WILL they react, do you think? Or will they pointedly ignore the project and hope it goes away?
When it comes to the Left and their sacrament of abortion, it will most likely be VERY difficult for them to remain silent. I’m actually looking forward to how they try to spin it.
I didn’t know Mr. Klavin wrote screen play. This is going to be a great movie. I can feel it in my bones! Thanks for the info, godbooklover!
