Released last year, #1 national bestseller Falling: A Novel is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting that T.J. Newman will be writing the adaptation of her own novel.
Newman is writing the screenplay for Universal and Working Title.
Falling: A Novel has been called “Jaws at 35,000 feet.”
Here’s the official synopsis for the book…
“You just boarded a flight to New York. There are one hundred and forty-three other passengers onboard. What you don’t know is that thirty minutes before the flight your pilot’s family was kidnapped. For his family to live, everyone on your plane must die. The only way the family will survive is if the pilot follows his orders and crashes the plane. Enjoy the flight.”
Deadline notes, “Newman is the flight attendant who filled the down time on flights scribbling an aviation thriller, only to see her get rejected by 41 agents before Shane Salerno and The Story Factory signed her. Her career soared. Falling sold to Avid Reader/Simon & Schuster in a 7-figure pre-emptive offer, with another seven figures for deals in 30 countries.”
