Hi Paul, first off, you are my favorite new author. Head Full of Ghosts was my favorite but Devil's Rock and Cabin were fantastic as well. I am very much looking forward to seeing Head Full of Ghosts adapted for the screen but let's face it...I'm scared! How involved are you going to be with the process? What are the things that you refuse to deviate from, even if the studio wants to edit? Are you writing screenplay?
Paul Tremblay
Hi, Nicole. Thank you very much for the read and kind words!
I have no contractual/official say with either adaptation right now. AHFoG is getting close, I'm told. Osgood Perkins is directing and hopefully we'll see some more movement forward soon.
With Cabin they are looking for directors now.
So, yeah, I'm not writing either screenplay, though the very nice Cabin folks have been asking for my feedback on the process so far. The movie in both cases are their own thing, separate from the book. I just hope that the movie captures the thematic spirit of the novel.

HFOG...the ending. Did Merrys older sister love her so much and want to save Merry from herself because she knew she was fading into possession and becoming something demonic, or was she faking and trying to save Merry from a life of drudgery w parents who cared more about fame than their own children and sacrifice herself along with killing her parents so Merrys life would be "better off" for lack of a better word?
