And...who would pay for the licence to write that book?
You can't just write a book about Balto and sell it. You need to pay to get the rights, and even if I don't know the exact amount Universal would be asking for, it would be hundred or thousands of dollars. That's why it's not that easy.
Right and again I Came prepared for that too. You see what I was planning on doing was writing a completely different storyline to Balto Thus you don't need the Rights from universal because it's your own idea,
NOT universal's. Now if you were copying the storyline from any of the balto's (1,2,or 3) that universal had come up with then yes you would need rights. You follow me so far?
what i'm talking about doing in a nutshell is basically 1. Get ideas from various balto fans 2. Put ideas together come up with plot 3. Find Someone qualified to write such a story(hard part)4. Sell copies online to balto fans first then advertise 5. Sell in stores see how good it sells 6. If sells well we could easily convince universal to make another movie.
Not, not only the storylines : characters are also copyrighted.
Unless you make a story with original characters, but then it has nothing to do with Balto and less people will be interested.
