To adapt a novel into a movie script
Monday, March 8, 2010





I’ve got a new writing assignment. I’m about to adapt a novel into a movie script.

The book is written by Pär Bjelvehammar, a Swedish writer, and it’s published by a small company. It’s a story about a murder.

I’ve no time limit on this assignment. There are no others than me and the writer of the book involved in the project so far, and since I haven’t done any adaption yet, I cannot estimate what time it will take.

The story sounded interesting, but I haven’t finished the book yet.

Maybe I won’t like it.

I considered this before I took on the project, and I don’t think it will matter much. Maybe it’s even better, because I might see the flaws easier? I believe this will be a challenge which will bring me new experiences.

I received an email from a reader the other day asking just this question. With a book recently published, my correspondent wanted to know about turning the book into a movie or finding a screenwriter who could turn it into a screenplay.
