Norman Mailer: Works and Days

Warner Brothers

Hollywood film studio that bought the film rights to An American Dream for a reported $200,000 (option taken in late May 1964; purchase reported January 1965); its film version premiered 26 August 1966.

Warner Brothers took an option on the film rights to An American Dream in late May 1964 and, as Mailer wrote his Japanese translator on 27 January 1965, purchased them outright for a reported $200,000. The studio’s film version of the novel premiered on 26 August 1966. Mann Rubin wrote the first screenplay.

Note: a film studio rather than a person; recorded here as an organization-style stub pending a dedicated organization page if warranted.
