Hi everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Craft. It's an interesting episode since I'm technically going beyond my initial plan for this podcast. When I first launched this thing, I had the idea to talk about the 12 sequences in a screenplay, but it's kind of grown into something a little bigger...so now I have the fun yet unenviable task of coming up with brand new material every week that isn't directly related to sequence writing. The last 14 episodes have been a lot of fun to record and post, and now we're treading through some foreign waters in a way. It should be interesting, and I'm just as curious as you are as to what the hell I'm going to talk about. I have, though, come up with something - a topic that I've noticed many of our ISA members have found curious and intriguing in its own right; adapting a screenplay into a book.
COMMENT(S)
your talk about turning a screenplay into a novel resonate with me . I explain why: I wrote a LONG screenplay about inspired by the real life ( as much real as I could find ''suport material'' :D joking... documents about him) but of course also romanced and transformed trghough my own eyes.
So the story being long I made a three parts script; each one has around 220 pages. SO, YES the novel is almost done. My screenwriting teacher James Bonnet tells me to also write a novel out of it. as it's almost written. And yes this is what I wanted to mention. It gives me a hint of why not doing it? Thanks for the useful and well done post!!
Best
