I know these are older pieces of info, but I bet a few people will enjoy reading them. Unexpected things happen sometimes! But I wouldn't advise making them your business model!
Major kudos to Gary Graham! Deadline could have referred to him as "Columbia Film School Grad"...or "Dedicated Dues-Paying Writer of a Dozen Scripts"....or "Guy With Global Film Club", though. I follow him on Twitter...he's a really insightful and profound guy who loves cinema, screenwriting and life. Here's some condensed comments of his from Scott Meyers: http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2015/08/twitter-rant-gary-graham-on-so...
Everyone should take hope from this that good work will win in the end. The studios liked the work so much that they found a vehicle to get it to market, package it as "I am legend 2". I take from this 'nothing is dead'. That is an excuse we make when our work doesn't sell. Spec sale and a new 'big budget' zombie movie. All things we are told are dead. Proof quality will always sell.

Another cool and unexpected way that a sequel developed - check out the Screenplay paragraph under Evan Almighty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Almighty
