Runaway Bride Jennifer Wilbanks Offered Movie Deal

To no one’s surprise, Jennifer Wilbanks is getting the opportunity to cash in on her infamy with a movie deal.

Runaway Bride May Get Movie Deal (AP)

Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks made a deal with a company that is pitching a movie about her life to networks — annoying officials who spent thousands of dollars searching for her. ReganMedia, a New York multimedia company, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for a story in Thursday’s papers it has acquired all media rights to the “life stories” of Wilbanks and her fiance, John Mason.

The company did not say whether any money had changed hands. “I am looking forward to developing the scripted project with Wilbanks and Mason,” company president Judith Regan said in a statement. “Theirs is an unexpected and compelling story of love and forgiveness that has certainly taught me a thing or two.”

It brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

    Every bit of the proceeds should go to missing and exploited children. That should send a message to the bride and Hollywood.
