What are "film rights"?
Film rights refer to the legal permissions needed to adapt a book, script, or other creative work into a movie. Owning the film rights allows the holder to create a movie based on the original work, including writing the screenplay, casting actors, and producing the film. These rights are typically negotiated and sold by the original creator or rights holder to a film studio or production company.
