A movie is not ordtak
|  |
 It totally sounds like an advice book, ... but there's not a shred of advice in the entire book, which is good for any of your readers. It's a novel. It's a humor book. It's sort of a what-if scenario of what would happen if you took a B-movie actor, meaning me -- I take the lead role in the book -- and put him into a big Hollywood movie. The answer is that it's not good. It's a misadventure. I single-handedly take down a big Hollywood movie. |
| As good business people, we'd be silly not to tap into every fan of the book and hope they will become a fan of the movie. We don't believe we're making a Christian movie. We believe we're following the story of the book faithfully and allowing everyone to interpret it how they want depending on how they've connected to the book. |
| You have many games that are movie tie-ins or book tie-ins that historically have not done well because you haven't been able to translate what was good about the book, what was positive about the book, into an entertainment environment. |
| is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name. The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies. |

| We are from Day One going after every fan of the book. We want them to know that however they connected to the book, we've made a movie that's true to the book. |
| What he said was 'You must read the book and if you find a way of doing the book, then you must tell us what that is. You mustn't come because it's a franchise. You mustn't come because it's the most famous children's film that's ever been. You mustn't come for this that and the other reason. You've got to be able to see how to make a 750-page book into a single movie,' |
Mike Newell (1942-)
| I find your question bizarre, ... It would be along the line of saying that I shouldn't see a movie that involves an accident. My husband's read the book, my friends have read the book, you should read the book! |
| A small publishing house is sometimes the way to go. I wanted somebody who would publish my book and care about my book. I wanted somebody to know my book and always remember it, and I found one. They take an interest in what you do. If they are committed to accept your book, then they are committed to you. |
| Much like he had an opportunity to work with Puzo and kind of evolve the book into a screenplay - which obviously required some modification to what Puzo had done - I just hope that he respects that we were targeting a different customer and we're trying to keep this fiction alive. The book's a great book; the movie's Academy Award winning; and hopefully the game will get a tremendous amount of acclaim as well. Just respect each of those works for what they are, I think that's the best way for us all to look at it. |

| When you have seasons like we're having, you have to win a couple of games like that. You don't win them all by the book, and this one wasn't certainly by the book that we would've liked. It certainly goes down in the record book as a win. That's the important thing. |
