Hollywood Will Soon Offer "Proof Of Heaven"

Universal Pictures and Disruption Entertainment have nabbed the film rights to Dr Eben Alexander's recent bestselling non-fiction work "Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife" says Deadline.

Alexander is a Harvard Medical School neurosurgeon and scientist.  He is a Christian, but did not believe in religious theories of the afterlife.

Several years ago he contracted a rare bacterial Meningitis that penetrated his cerebro-spinal fluid and attacked his brain. Comatose for seven days in 2008, he awoke with a clear recollection of what he described as a journey to heaven.

Ryan Knighton ("Thick As Thieves") will write the adapted script.

Mary Parent and Cale Boyter will produce the film
