Stellaris Films Receives Movie Rights to a
Hidden Manuscript Written by Napoleon Hill
In 1938 Napoleon Hill wrote Outwitting the Devil, his sequel to the immensely popular Think and Grow Rich, and Stellaris Films recently acquired the rights to produce the film and the accompanying "making of-behind the scenes-documentary."
Las Vegas, Nevada, August 20, 2014 /PressReleasePing/ - In 1938 Napoleon Hill wrote
Outwitting the Devil, his sequel to the immensely popular Think and Grow Rich, and Stellaris
Films recently acquired the rights to produce the film and the accompanying "making ofbehind the scenes-documentary."
Outwitting the Devil was written two years after Think and Grow Rich. The book was so controversial for its time, but Hill knew that there was a time and a season for everything. So, he placed it in a vault and locked the manuscript away for 74 years. Amazingly, Outwitting the
Devil was written in 1938 and wasn't published until 2011.
In Outwitting the Devil, Napoleon Hill is at his best as he digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This book is profound, powerful, resonant and rich with insight. Whether people believe Hill's conversation with the devil was real or imaginary, the take-away from this book, and the upcoming movie, is the impact Outwitting the Devil has on our ability to succeed.
The screenplay, written by Jeffrey Ross, of Stellaris Films, and Victoria Claibourn, was commissioned by DM The Movie, LLC who currently owns the exclusive rights to the book title for the film. DM The Movie, LLC is comprised of four partners: Jeffrey Ross, Bob Landi,
Curt/Tonia Kufner, and Scott Mckay. Prior to Bob Landi approaching Jeffrey Ross to write the screenplay, no filmmaker had ever received the rights to a Napoleon Hill book.
Once Jeffrey Ross agreed to write the screenplay, Scott Mckay was brought in to secure the deal and Curt and Tonia

    “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself...” This was true in FDR’s time, but not when you are one of the many people the devil has put in his arithmetic. In the book The Devil’s Arithmetic, Jane Yolen, has made a made a wonderfully unbelievable book showing what it was like when if you were in the concentration camps. Although you may not want to recommend this book to a second grader, this is a historical fiction that is almost on the spot with its historical facts. The fact still remains, the horror of it all and how everyone who lived had to go through it all. The Devil’s Arithmetic is a very compelling book and a very gruesome movie, but they both have similarities and differences.…

    The Devil and Tom Walker is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation. This story is about a man by the name of Tom Walker, who believes that wealth and worldly possessions are everything. He is married to a woman that beats him, and she could care less about him or his existence. Tom and his wife are cheap, greedy, manipulative people. They will cheat each other out of anything that will benefit themselves. One day, Tom decides to take a shortcut through the woods to get home. He meets a man that offers him a deal that he simply cannot pass up, but before he decides to take the man upon this deal he takes some time to think it through. When he has finally made up his mind that this is what he wants to do, he takes a trip back to the man and agrees to his offer. The offer requires him to do certain things for this man, but nothing that he is not willing to do. So, as Tom continues life without his wife, he lies to people and cheats them out of their money all because of the deal he made with this mysterious man in the woods. As days pass on, Tom begins to worry about what will happen to him in his after life. With this curiosity, he begins to act as if he is a frequent churchgoer. But, in the end, his effort to “get right” with God does not work, and he is taken captive by the Devil.…

    Gaunilo's No Devil Parody

    More advancements are notable in the extreme no devil corollary which proposes that a worse being is likely to be that which does not thrive in the understanding and therefore, such a being exists neither in the knowledge nor the reality or the actual world. Some critics such as Timothy Chambers argue that the devil premises and corollary is more logical and compelling in comparison to the Gaunilo's challenge since it withstands and copes with the difficulties that are likely to overcome Gaunilo's claims and parody. He further recommends the no devil corollary as a stronger and more powerful challenge as it underlines the no devil parody which threats and challenges Anselm's argument and satire at its very own basis and foundations (Garrett…
