LIFETIME apparently gave -- or discussed giving -- TWO MILLION $$$$ to Cindy and George for the rights to their story.
Question?
Did Cindy and George already GET the 2 million $$$$$ when they sold the rights to their story to LIFETIME? Did they get the millions up front?
Or, was the Deal only in the talking stages?
Will LIFETIME do a future story from Cindy and Georges perspective?
The public will be outraged if LIFETIME does a movie/story on Cindy and George and their killer daughter!!
Is this 2 million $$$ how Cindy has remodeled their home, took the home out of foreclosure, got new cars, and taken trips, and supports FCA?
Or, the money was used from the Dr. Phil donation to the CAYLEE FUND?

excerpt:
"Perhaps the two million dollar payout for the Lifetime movie also helped ease their tensions as well. At least now they wont have financial worries. Their home will no longer be in foreclosure and they can even afford move away to a more luxurious place in a gated community in order to keep paparazzi at bay. In addition, there will most likely be no Casey to run up any credit card bills since the state will pay for her room, board, and clothing as well as her medical bills as she sits in prison for life or sits on death row in Lowell Penitentiary waiting for appeals and for her final day."

excerpt:
"George and Cindy Anthony have sold their story to Lifetime TV for a reported two million dollars. There is also an alleged book deal in the works. The Anthonys have struggled financially for quite some time and their house was in forclosure. Financially, they will be fine, however all the money in the world will not bring back Caylee, nor will it save Casey. Their life is forever changed and that is something they will have to learn to live with."

No way!! As an aspiring screenwriter, I have read the weekly sales for years. Even before this case. From my understanding, their story has not even been optioned. If their story had been sold or optioned, it would be all over the internet. They can not keep something like that a secret.
Almost everything starts out with an option. It gives the Network or the Studio the option to pick up their story. They pay minimal $$$ to option and they usually carry that option for 3 years. IF by 3 years, the Network or Studio has done nothing with that "work" the person can take their "work" somewhere else. "Work" in this sense woud be their "Life Story."
However, I have not read anywhere that they have even been optioned.
ETA: And if they HAD sold their "Life Story" it would have been in the trades! I pay a lot of money to keep an inside look into all sales.
