YouTube story gets documentary treatment

If you ever experience something really dramatic, put it on YouTube, and you may just end up getting your own documentary.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, producers Chris Adams and Steve Kearney are developing a documentary film about a real love story that was featured on YouTube.
The story follows Australian video blogger Daniel Meadows, who met and fell in love with American Shannon Jones online.
However, when Meadows finally decided to fly over and meet her in person, his plans were shattered when he was arrested on suspicion of terrorism.
The trade says Adams, Kearney and RJ Cutler plan on making the film out of "a combination of existing YouTube footage and added footage."
Whether we'll ever see it in theaters though is not certain at this point.
