Red pill, blue pill, who gives a shit?

Neil's gonna get paid!

Make more noise. Get sure this is blasted all over the net. Facebook likes, retweets, comments, links. Do a google search on your name (I did) and try to push "negative" resuts down. (Well, all pubicity is good publicity, but we wouldnt want to hurt your chances of your book becoming a movie)

Get some PR guy to get you some interviews or write ups in magazines. Get some guest posts in travel blogs, perhaps telling some crazy adventures you might not have included in the book.

Choose your public persona and broadcast that. You want the media to pick up on the crazy backpacking traveling dutchman, not the misogynistic sexual touristing PUA, whatever that might be. They will come at you, and they will come hard. Hit them back.

But whatever you do, dont hide what you are.

Thanks Germanico,

I'm doing what I can with my limited time and money but of course if the project gets green lit I'm going full on P Diddy on this. I never mind spending money as long as its an investment of some sort.

Your twitter ideas were of great help in the past. Send me a pm, perhaps we can talk biz.

Just read in NY Times that they castes Brad Pitt to play Neil after Ryan Gosling turned down the part.

On a serious note, congratulations Neil! Best wishes!

To play on that, who can fit the part of playing Neil Skywalker? I guess people who have met him can answer that better than me.

First ones who come to mind:
- David Wenham
- Sean Bean
- Woody Harrelson
- Willem Dafoe
- Rupert Grint
- Damian Lewis
- Seth Green

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Neil, this is amazing. What does a man need to sell a script so quickly? Or is it months of preparation and writing that leads to success? Or just having the balls? Keep up the good work.

‘Devil’s Knot’ Producer Takes On ‘Around the World in 80 Girls’ (EXCLUSIVE)


With “Devil’s Knot” headed for its world premiere at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival, producer Elizabeth Fowler is teaming with Susan Duff on a film based on “Around the World in 80 Girls: The Epic 3-Year Journey of a Backpacking Casanova.”

Fowler and Duff — mother of Hilary and Hailey Duff — are developing the property as a comedy and meeting with writers and directors, but have not yet cast any actors. The duo has also optioned author Neil Skywalker’s life rights.

Skywalker, a native of the Netherlands, began writing the book while on a trip around the world with the goal of improving his social skills.

Does anyone know if the movie "Around the World in 80 Girls", based on the experiences of RVF member Neil Skywalker, ever got made?

Nah he clearly just slipped back into obscurity.

Sounds likely.

Look at a guy like Tucker Max, who was way more famous than Neil in his prime and probably sold a ton more books. When he released a shitty low budget movie based on his book, literally no one was interested. Funding for Neil's movie probably dried up, once it was found to be unmarketable.
