LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - December 15, 2008) - The Library Journal has selected "The Seven
Sins: The Tyrant Ascending" as a Best Thriller of 2008 as published in its
December issue.
"The Seven Sins: The Tyrant Ascending" by bestselling author Jon Land and
King Midas World Entertainment, which is loosely inspired by the life of
International Investor and Entrepreneur Fabrizio Boccardi, was released in
June 2008 in hardcover by Forge Books and is now available in audio CD and
large print. The paperback is scheduled for release in summer 2009.
The novel, which received rave reviews, was followed by the July film
announcement in the Hollywood Reporter detailing prominent Hollywood
Producer Moritz Borman and Executive Producer Peter Graves of their
partnership with Fabrizio Boccardi for the licensing of the film rights of
the first motion picture of the franchise.
Mr. Borman is currently producing the highly anticipated "Terminator:
Salvation." He has also produced a variety of successful movies including
Oliver Stone's newly released "W.," "World Trade Center," "Terminator 3,"
"The Life of David Gale," "Alexander" and numerous others.
"The Tyrant is an intriguing new type of lead character that we believe
could easily form the basis of a new franchised series," said Mr. Borman.
The upcoming film, which is adapted from the novel, is in the very active
stages of development with a target theater release date of 2011.
"This film will take place in an exciting world of heightened action and
intrigue that will definitely make this project standout in the
marketplace," said Mr. Graves who is also executive producer on
"Terminator: Salvation," "W.," and "Planet 51."
"He is a new franchise character for our times, a true rakish embodiment of
the American Dream. It is time to think out of the box and deliver a
different story and experience the public won't forget," said Fabrizio
Boccardi, CEO of King Midas World Entertainment and producer on the
upcoming movie. "We are delighted to learn that our efforts to establish a
different and intriguing new vision in entertainment is beginning to be
recognized in the publishing world. We believe the Library Journal
acknowledgement is the beginning of the trend."
