I have experienced this with options/development and it is aggravating AF (although to be fair to Hollywood, it's not just them who do this, I've had publishing deals that have taken the better part of a year to get fully papered). The one "advantage" I have here is that my primary income is elsewhere, so I don't starve while the deal drags on, which is a luxury other some other writers dealing with film/TV don't have. But that doesn't mean it's not still a problem.
