NEW YORK “Deep Throat” has finally cashed in -- his family's main reason for going public now -- with a book and movie deal, reportedly for $1 million.
Most of the money will come from a movie deal, with the rights snapped up by Universal and Tom Hanks' Playtone production company. Hanks could end up playing W. Mark Felt, a.k.a. Deep Throat, a kind of “Castaway” for the past 30 years.
According to published reports today, the family of Felt, 91, has
picked PublicAffairs Books to publish a memoir/as told to next year with Universal Pictures optioning his life story for Hanks.
I'll not buy or read the book, nor will I watch, rent or buy the damn movie.
