Biopic movies have always been popular. The books they’re based on are an opportunity to delve into the lives of those characters.
A movie gains interest when we know it is based on true events. And when there is also a book behind it, that book becomes essential.
“I love the book, but in order to transform it into a film, there are things you have to reinvent for it to work on screen.”
