Author Christopher Buckley on how hard it is to get a novel turned into a movie, even when everyone is saying, “We love it, baby!”
An excerpt:
Ernest Hemingway was so embittered by his experiences in Hollywood that he formulated what might be called Hemingway's Rule for Dealing with the Celluloid Bastards: Drive your car up to the California state line. Take your manuscript out of the car. Make them throw the money across first. Toss them the manuscript, get back in the car and drive back east as fast as you can.
