Octuplets: "Documentary" still not a done deal

(4-14) Octuplets: Updated list of posts

April 19, 2009

There has been no news of an inked deal. Nadya was way ahead of herself. I find it hard to believe she leaked it on purpose to try and get other offers to drive up the price. If anything, the production company - Eyeworks, located in the UK - might have wanted to see if there would be any backlash from sponsors.

From Reuters:

Eyeworks Chief Executive Officer Reinout Oerlemans said in a statement on Wednesday that the company was still in "exclusive negotiations" with Suleman for "an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children."

"Nadya's story is a very unique and exciting one that needs to be told in the right manner," Oerlemans said. "We are confident that we are the right party to tell their story around the world."

"Exclusive" because no one else is interested?

Here is what Nadya said last week to Life & Style Magazine: [emphasis added]

Yes, it is official.

I'm going to be doing a show, but it's not a reality show.

What I'm doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It's going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It's being done by Eyeworks; they're in the UK.

It will air in the UK and then we'll see if the US is interested.

Court TV maybe. Even Maury Povich wants nothing to do with her.
