Terri Schiavo Film in Development

Source: Variety

April 10, 2006

A year after Terri Schiavo died, a quartet of producers-including Mike Farrell and Lawrence Bender-have optioned the rights to Michael Schiavo's just-published book "Terri: The Truth" and are looking to develop it as a telepic or feature film. Variety says Farrell and Bender would produce any project in conjunction with their respective partners, Marvin Minoff and Kevin Brown.

Schiavo's death on March 31, 2005, came after a years-long battle between Michael Schiavo, husband of Terri Schiavo, and her parents over when it was appropriate to remove the brain-dead woman from life support. What began as a family feud ended up a national political battle.

"The story is almost Shakespearean in the warring of the families and the great love story between the (couple)," Minoff told the trade. "It starts off so beautifully and then ends so chaotically."

Producers don't plan to hire a writer until they sell the project to a TV network or film studio. The goal is to tell Terri and Michael Schiavo's story from the beginning of their romance.
