From wikipedia:

On September 27, 2008 Dick Johnston, Daniel's brother and manager, revealed that "a movie deal based on the artist's life and music had been finalized with a tentative 2011 release."[10] He also said that a deal had been struck with the Converse company for a "signature series" Daniel Johnston shoe.[10]

What do you guys think of this?

terrified.  they'll probably get it all wrong.   i guess there is an outside chance that someone would make a good movie out of daniel's life, but don't count on it happening.    though after seeing how sean penn approached "into the wild," i'm not ruling out the possibility of a dramatized movie about daniel that could stand as art on its own.  it has to be about music though, not just mental illness and drama...

I have met John-boy the most warm, caring, good hearted person around. He was so cool.
