interesting follow up.

The story appears to be true, but the writers researched and wrote the story to get bids on it for a movie.

They were successful.

a $350,000 option fee against $1 million if the movie gets made

a deal made just about 72 hours after the story’s publication

That’s the highest price ever paid for an optioned article in Hollywood history

Never heard of it. (Of course, I don't eat at McDonalds....)
