I don’t think there was an actual strip from 2001 where Steve actually sells the movie rights of Opus’ life. According to Wikipedia, Outland ended in 1995 and Opus didn’t start until 2003, so that alleged strip can’t belong to either.
In real life, apparently there was an Opus movie project in the 2000’s, originally by Miramax Films and then by the Weinstein Company, but it was never realized. But in that case of course it was B.B. himself who sold the rights, not a mostly-fictional character. (Of course the Opus movie never saw the light of day.)
