EXCLUSIVE: Michael Crichton’s brilliant mix of science and narrative resulted in north of $10 billion in film and TV revenue and 250 million books sold.
Now, the estate of the author who died in 2008 has made another major deal to bring his work back to new audiences. Blackstone Publishing has made a seven-figure deal with CrichtonSun to acquire the worldwide print, eBook and audiobook rights to Crichton’s first series of novels, which he wrote under the pseudonym John Lange.
This was long before Jurassic Park, ER and such, and he wrote the first three titles while matriculating at Harvard Medical School.
This side pursuit also came prior to his first breakout novel done under the Crichton name, 1971’s The Andromeda Strain. The eight books comprise unconnected tales of fiction in numerous genres and will be shopped to studios and streamers for potential film/television adaptations.
