'Jurassic Park' Writer David Koepp Sells Rights to First Novel to Paramount
Paramount has won a bidding war for Cold Storage, the debut novel by veteran screenwriter David Koepp.
The pickup follows a publishing deal that Koepp, who wrote the original Mission: Impossible movie as well as Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, made earlier in August with Ecco/HarperCollins. That deal was described as being a “significant seven-figure deal,” according to insiders.
