Los Angeles
- Online retail giant Amazon.com is (NASD: AMZN) set to produce its first full-length motion
picture, partnering with 20th Century Fox to adapt "The Stolen
Child," a fantasy novel written by Keith Donahue, Variety reported.
The
company, which acquired the rights to the book in 2006, will not provide
financing for the production, but rather market the movie across its Web
properties, including IMDB.com.
In addition to IMDB, Amazon also has its hands
in the film business with its Unbox movie download service, CreateSpace
on-demand DVD service, and Without a Box film festival submission service.
The company has also previously produced "Amazon FishBowl," an online talk show hosted by comedian Bill Maher.
