Walt Disney Company, By Robert B. Sherman, Composer And Lyricist

I'm writing to you in hope the you take into consideration, turning the novel Matched by Ally Condie, into a film. I am providing you with the background of the novel, and important details needed to decide whether or not, this novel should be a film.

Being a writer and director are challenging positions. A writer and director must be in-tune with their audience in order to capture

Mindy Kaling is an esteemed Hollywood actress known for her roles as Jane on “Jane the Virgin” and Kelly on “The Office.” Many people know her on screen but few know that in addition to her acting she is also a scriptwriter. So, when Kaling was given the chance to pitch ideas for the next Hollywood hit, she jumped at the opportunity. She went before a panel of executives to share her thoughts for the next box office romcom, and was left both confused and surprised by their lack of interest, with a counter that they were looking into movies that were about boardgames.

The potential movie will be based on the novel and a pre-existing screenplay on the subject written by Mann and Shane Salerno.

As far as who will write the script for this adaptation, I would like to have the author of the book also pen the screenplay. It is his story and I want to respect that ultimately any changes made to the material would be changing his vision, and because of this I would like to give him more creative license over the film. He also currently still owns the rights to the material and I believe that he will be more likely to hand them over to someone if he is promised a say in the final product. It seems that one of the main reasons authors do not sell the rights to their material, is because they are concerned about not having any creative license in the final product. In allowing Dale Peck to write the screenplay, not only will the film maintain the tone of the book, it will also motive him to allow the film to be made in the first place.

This novel has been so important that many directors have wanted to take it to

Due to production costs and financial restrictions, the director and screenplay writer can never fully reproduce an entire literary work into a screen

Those many books like Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, Veronica Roth’s Divergent, and James Dashner’s The Maze Runner have become movie adaptations of those books. Society has succumbed to fantasy. People say that fantasy can be better than reality. One thing these books have in common is that the main character is always the one who is the hero or the person who oversees things differently within

Parsi’s goal of having as much creative control as possible will not be achieved if the known actor is hired. There is a chance that the studio and the actor will want the actor’s part to be the center of the film which may differ from Parsi’s creative idea. Tauzen, our known actor, has been known to cause problems in creativity while working on films. The studio will provide more funding to the film if Tauzen is hired, but will consequently cause the studio to have more oversight over the production. If Parsi wants to maintain control over the creativity of the film, having the studio have more oversight of the production will not help meet this goal. Also, Tauzen is known to have a past of creating delays in filming which consequently caused

I have been speaking to Mike Haggerty with The Film House about various opportunities working on their upcoming films, but I wanted to reach out to you directly too as extras casting is my main interest.

A literary adaptation is defined as “a composition that has been recast into a new form e.g novel, play or screen production”. (Ross, 2009, p.5) It has been noted that almost a third of all film productions ever created were based on novel adaptations, and in today’s contemporary society the ‘book to film’ adaptation cycle is more present than ever. Although this could to seen as an innocent move allowing ‘great’ texts to be more approachable and appreciated by modern culture, it has been argued that the process damages the original content and understanding that is taken from the source material. By discussing and analysing some of the main factors and issues filmmakers use when adapting a text to film, based on the article Adaptation:

Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.

The discussion of wether film adaptations are better than their novels is ongoing. Khaled Hosseni’s “The Kite Runner” was a New York Times bestseller that was better than the film made for it. Films have time constraints as a long novels must be fit within a 1-2 hour time frame. They have production issues as some scenes from the book are inappropriate for all viewers. Movies also need to target a range of audiences to become blockbuster hits, whereas, novels do not. Although directors strive to make novel-based films as closely related to the books as possible, inevitable distinctions continue to exist.
