Producers and audiences are hungrier than ever for stories, and a lot of those stories begin life as a book - but how exactly do you transfer a story from the page to the screen? Alistair Owen puts all key questions to some of the top names in screenwriting, including Hossein Amini (Drive), Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland), Moira Buffini (Jane Eyre), Lucinda Coxon (The Danish Girl), Nick Hornby (An Education), and more. Exploring fiction and nonfiction projects, contemporary and classic books, films and TV series, The Art of Screen Adaptation reveals the challenges and pleasures of reimagining stories for cinema and television, and provides a frank and fascinating masterclass with the writers who have done it - and have the awards and acclaim to show for it.
Alistair Owen is the author of Smoking in Bed: Conversations with Bruce Robinson (one of David Hare' s Books of the Year in the Guardian) and Story and Character: Interviews with British Screenwriters. He has chaired events at the Hay Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival and London Screenwriters' Festival. Alistair has written original and adapted screenplays, on spec and to commission; and contributed film reviews to Time Out and film book reviews to the Independent on Sunday;.
