I wrote a book. How can I turn it into a movie?
Turn it into a script.Seriously, if you have a good story that you think would make an excellent movie then turn it into a script. Books will only become movies if:They become hugely popular bestsellers.If a producer just happens to absolutely love the story because it’s interesting and original.Really, if you want the book to become a movie then you’ll have more success by writing a script since that’s what producers deal with. They read scripts, not books.Producers really only accept books that are in the mainstream or have some sort of acclaim. They won’t waste their time on this ‘one guy who wrote a book but promises it’s the most amazing story ever worthy of a move and possibly a franchise’.Movies are expensive - little people rarely get their big break on the first try. If you have a truly movie-worthy book then turn it into a screenplay. Screenplays are the industry standard. A book might even just be thrown in the bin because it doesn’t fit the standards for submissions.There is often rules with scripts such as:Large production companies won’t accept screenplays directly but through a representative agency - eases the burden of sorting through scripts on the production company.They won’t accept unsolicited scripts or anything that doesn’t follow the given format - they will be scrapped.Sometimes they’ll downright bin scripts just by reading the first page; such as if your script has the title “Cobra-saurus vs Manatee-rex” or “Teenage Wizard School” or “Star Battles”. Sometimes they’ll just downright think your script is boring - sometimes not even getting past the 5th page before scrapping it.It’s a tough life but keep persevering and you’ll get there. Make sure you have a decent story first and then turn it into a decent script. Don’t waste your time trying to send a book in.If you want your book to become a movie before it becomes a best-seller then perhaps your intention was not to write a best-selling book in the first place but to write a movie script.

Can manatees hurt you?
Well, I searched high and low and have found nothing written about a manatee caused injury to people. But, that does nor mean they don't occur. I would suspect there have been injuries, just not reported. There are many laws protecting manatee, it is illegal to touch one. A person would be a fool to admit having messed with a manatee, even if that person did get hurt. Swimmers are warned about mother manatee with calf's. Therefore the potential for a problem exist. Knowing the human animal as well as I do, there has to have been at least one idiot out there that got in trouble messing with a calf. Swimming With Manatees. A Tinge of Controversy http://gorp.away.com/gorp/location/fl/manatee4.htm We know people are injured while swimming with dolphins, both wild and "tame". Personally and professionally I would like to see the practice of swimming with manatee stopped.

What creature is benjamin on the new little mermaid movie?
The one odd character in the movie is Marina's sidekick, Benjamin (voiced by Jeff Bennett). He almost looks like he's related to Barney. I don't know what he is supposed to be. Edit: After much searching on the web, I found ONE little sentence that read: Benjamin is a "much-put-upon manatee manservant." Here are some images of a real manatee: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...
