PARAMOUNT PICTURES CONTACTS AUTHOR FOR FILM SCRIPT
Article by Heather White, The Hollywood Buzz
Texas author, Sydney Newman Dotson, has caught the attention of actors, agents, publishers, independent film producers and movie studios in Hollywood. Her first book, "No Greater Deception: A True Texas Story," of the Newman Family Trilogy is currently the #1 true crime autobiography on the market. The Newman family trilogy takes place primarily in Dallas, Galveston, Houston, and Longview and neighboring counties. Dotson, a former IBM executive, and her sister, a CFO of a space museum in Houston, are the main characters, and spy sisters in this blockbuster bestseller.
Dotson formed Sydney Dotson Productions last year to co-produce a film or TV series based on her family trilogy. Potential partners that have indicated an interest in the project include Paramount Pictures, the Maloof brothers (Insomnia Entertainment) and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who also owns 2929 Entertainment, Magnolia Films, HDNet Films, and a piece of Lion's Gate Films.
Tilman Fertitta of Landry's Restaurants, and Lorenzo Fertitta of Station Casinos, have been invited to come onboard as co-producers as well. Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and Dixie Carter (Designing Women) are considering playing New York mafia kingpin Joe Bonanno and Betty Newman, the evil stepmother.
Actors and actresses who wish to play roles in this film project have heard about Dotson's book and endeavor to produce a film. The author's book, film treatment and film script are being reviewed by a number of people in the film industry. Dotson and her sister have been hawking their one-minute pitch and trilogy at several film festivals, including Sundance, South by Southwest Film Conference (SXSW) and Tribeca. They plan to attend the Cannes Film Festival, Showest, Women in the Director's Chair, Reel Women International, USA Film Festival, Austin Film Festival and Texas Film Festival.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Hold onto your bootstraps folks! If you liked Erin Brockovich, you'll be thoroughly intrigued with the adventures of these two sisters, their knack for investigative work, and their family in Texas. This is a stirring, humorous and unconventional true story about their epics and the Texas Justice System.
Sydney and her sister Heather will take you through their gut wrenching, nerve racking, emotional roller coaster ride that occurs after their father dies and their stepmother turns in a suspicious Last Will and Testament that leaves the stepmother the entire estate. As the two beautiful blonde bombshells face their father's death, an evil stepmother, and a tainted legal system, they introduce themselves to many people while searching for missing pieces of the family puzzle. What they discover makes the sisters question everything they once thought was real.
Is their father the man they think he is? How was he able to buy all the guns, diamonds, land and mineral rights that he owned? How involved was he in gambling, prostitution, bootlegging and gun running along the Galveston Bay? Were his connections to George Bush, Lyndon Johnson, Lady Bird, Jack Ruby and New York Mafia Kingpin Joe Bonanno much deeper than they seemed? Was he a made man or bodyguard for the Maceo, Moody, Fertitta and Salvato families? Was he involved in the JFK assassination? Why did Lady Bird Johnson, the Secret Service, Mafia, Texas Rangers and law enforcement officers across the country attend his funeral?
What they learn about their stepmother Betty is devastating. How did the town whore come to marry their father the Police Chief? Did she kill her only brother and father and forge their Last Wills and Testaments and Living Wills too? Just how many accomplices does she have? Are some of them their own brothers and sisters?
What the two sisters' forensic document expert, Mrs. Higgins, discovers will send chills up and down your spine. Betty Newman may be a black widow serial killer, and their lives are in danger.
"No Greater Deception: A True Texas Story," is the #1 true crime autobiography about identity theft and forgery within a family, and victims of inheritance fraud. It's available today on 400 websites in 22 countries, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders and Books a Million.
