My Name is Memory was optioned for film. If you are interested in more details, you can read about it here. It happened really quickly. In fact the book hadn't yet been copyedited, and I felt bad for those scouts and producers having to soldier through my typos and other dumb errors. But it was thrilling, more than anything, to feel that this book was connecting with readers. Peter Chernin is the buyer, and I've heard only great things about him.
You never know what will happen. Most options never turn into movies. (I'm practiced at keeping my expectations in check). But I am hopeful. I can't help it.
Woot woot...that's so exciting!!! I cannot wait for this book to come out. I may need to invest in an extra copy when it does come out for another giveaway. Congrats!!!
Hi Ann. That is sooo exciting! Congratulations! I can't wait to read the book when it comes out and when I'm finished with it and, if it does happen, see the movie.
Cool!! Congratulations, Ann!! I'm excited to read the book! :)
Oh wow, I think that is SOOOO cool! Congrads!
I also read somewhere that the Last Summer (of you and Me) was being made into a movie as well... is this true?
Wow im such a nerd for being so excited haha. Congrats
I really think it'd be crazy not to turn this into a movie. The idea sounds great. My copy has been pre-ordered. Best of luck, Ann and can't wait to read it!
Cool! Are you planning to write a fifth Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book?? Oh please!? I am desperately waiting. You are a great writer and I am obsessed with your series:)
Ann,
I'm so happy to hear that My Name is Memory is optioned for a movie! I loved seeing The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants on the big screen, and I can't wait to read My Name is Memory and I hope I will be able to go see that at the movies too!
Congrats your writing is awesome I think The Last Summer of you and me should be optioned for film too:)
Can't wait to read "My name is Memory", Congrats. I really enjoyed the "the Last Summer of you and Me" it brought back so many memories of Fire Island.
The idea sounds great. My copy has been pre-ordered. Best of luck, Ann and can't wait to read it!
love you ann
This is great news! As I was reading it, I kept thinking about what a beautiful movie it would make. I'm currently working on my review of this book - which I loved - and so I'll be sure to add this bit of info. Best of luck with the release! Elisabeth
Hi Ann,
I just finished reading your new book and I just wanted to let you know how enjoyable, fantastically written and absorbing it was. I picked up a copy in the airport and it was probably my best airport purchase to date (no joke). I just loved everything about it. I really, really hope it comes out on film and that the film does justice to what a superb book it is.
All the best,
June
I just finished "My Name is Memeory" and it was wonderful. My memory isn't quite as long as Daniel's but I have to say that you know "of which you speak" A movie would be a terrific bonus.
I think you book The Last Summer (of you and me) should be made into a movie.
I can't wait to read My Name is Memory and I hope I will be able to go see that at the movies too!
I loved this book, so I'm quite excited to see the film when it comes out (which I imagine might not be for a while!). It'll have to be a rather large cast, I imagine ;) A question: Are you planning to write a sequel for this book? There were so many loose ends and I want to know what happens!
