Variety is reporting that Grateful Dead roadie Steve Parish will see his 2004 book, Home Before Daylight, made into a Hollywood movie.
Michael Grais who previously produced the music bio “Great Balls of Fire,” will adapt the book for the screen and produce. He and Parish have already spent a month in Northern California hashing out the adaptation.
Parish said he wrote the book because, though there have been many books published about the Grateful Dead, none “were from the inside. They were not about the fun we had.”
“There has never been and probably never will be another cast of characters like the Grateful Dead.”
