I have been watching what seems like dozens of your books become optioned and scripted for movies, miniseries and tv shows. It is awesome to be able to consume your work in video. I am looking forward to watching the newest adaptations of "The Stand" and "The Dark Tower." These are epic stories that will look amazing with today's special effects and dramatic movie making.
I read your interview with Deadline. It made me wonder how involved I would want to get with filmmakers if one of my stories is ever optioned to be made into a movie. Would I just sit back and let the movie makers do their thing or will I ask to have input on how the movie is made.
I think it would be fun to be involved in making a movie but I don't have the experience in making them. That is why the studio hires talented people to make the movies. I am a writer and the written page is much different than what is scene on the screen. There are so many thoughts and emotions you can describe on the page that is hard to show on the screen.
I do like to write my stories in a way that resembles a tv show. I like to write down the video in my head. I use my words to describe my visions. Sometimes my words do those visions justice and sometimes they don't.
