A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.

Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel; our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt

I did an adaptation for a movie called 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson for Warner Brothers. I love that book.

I came across a lot of material I wanted to use for the Adams book and wasn't able to,

I think my background in film taught me that a great book adaptation is not always slavishly faithful to the source material.

We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn't enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.
