What the press release actually says is that the rights to make a
movie based on the book have been bought. That's _very_ different from
a movie actually being made, as any number of disappointed authors can
attest, and so can the fact that the rights had been purchased once
before.
Considering that the book is nonfiction, I wonder how much the rights
are really worth. After all, things like the plot, the names of the
characters, etc. are all in the public domain. I'd guess the would-be
producer just paid some small amount to avoid hassles.
