Well the film was totally different. OK the basic story was there but not much else, obviously it was a major re-write.

Well done for getting it made Mathew, what do you think of the film?

Hi Andy, I thought Thomas did a fantastic job with the film. Obviously it differed a lot from my original script as Thomas wanted to explore the back story of how the characters got to that position. I think a lot of differences came down to the fact that I'm from England and Thomas is American. Never the less, I think he did a great job and it was a really satisfying feeling seeing one of my scripts get made.

I'm glad you're happy with it and like I said well done for getting it made.

I have the same thing with one of my scripts. An American producer wants to make it and I've signed the agreement and checked him out, very impressive IMDB page. The thing I do "worry" about is having American actors because in my head it was written with English in mind. I look forward to seeing it made, if and when it does due to the world going mad at the moment.
