Once upon a time, David Soul, okay, I can see that. He had a look that would have sold Jack Taylor perfectly.<br /><br />But you know how we Yanks are obsessed with youth.Corey Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566740230330395590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-1985905178321467742009-05-25T16:28:03.734+01:002009-05-25T16:28:03.734+01:00"There's a belief here that the better the book, t..."There's a belief here that the better the book, the harder to turn it into a screenplay, and the worse the book, the easier it is to turn into a screenplay." <br /><br />God, what a depressing thought, Josephine ... That pretty much means it makes (financial) sense, in the short-term at least, to concentrate on adapting bad novels ... <br /><br />Then again, Ken - bless his cotton socks - is the exception that proves most rules ...<br /><br />Cheers, DecDeclan Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322645323239292406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-45053633942781384472009-05-25T16:21:50.774+01:002009-05-25T16:21:50.774+01:00"some cack-handed screenwriter"
*ahem* I resemble..."some cack-handed screenwriter"<br /><br />*ahem* I resemble that remark.<br /><br />Seriously, it's a trend here in the US to write in a way that I call "writing with one eye on the screen." <br /><br />Meaning you write more action/dialogue that internal thought/internal confict, and throw the POV rules out the window.<br /><br />Grisham and a lot of other big name "novelists" write like that, but I sure don't read those types of book because I don't consider them true novels.<br /><br />And there's a belief here that the better the book, the harder to turn it into a screenplay, and the worse the book, the easier it is to turn into a screenplay.Josephine Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952030380866201241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-91728529668378573672009-05-25T14:17:00.564+01:002009-05-25T14:17:00.564+01:00Corey - No, I'm not kidding.
