Re: How long does it take for an ent lawyer to write up an option agreement?
By the time all the back and forth is done (multiple times) a few weeks is nothing. These are complicated agreements entailing rights for film, characters, future projects, TV, etc. Every aspect has to be worked out to the the satisfaction of all parties. Often the author is in no rush to get his side done and the attorneys aren't either.
It took me over six months to get it all finalized, but when it was done everything was spelled out -- including dozens of things I never thought about.If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.

I had an agreement-in-principle with a producer on July 21st.
A little over a week ago I pinged my lawyer. He said things were being very slow because of it being August, with lots of people being out of town, but he "realistically" thought we could have an executed deal in 4 weeks, which would put us in the middle of September and not quite two months from the agreement-in-principle.
This is, I think, not unusual.
