Ryan Fisher The Movie
We all know the adage “the book was better than the movie”. If you’ve ever read a novel and then seen the movie you’ve probably said the same thing yourself.
I think there’s a couple of reasons we say this:
Reason #1 Narcissism: In reading a book we play a large role. In our mind’s eye we cast the characters and we paint the settings, so it only makes sense we’d like our version best.
Reason #2 Time: We watch a movie in 120 minutes. I don’t know what the average amount of time we spend reading a novel is but if I had to guess of the top of my head I’d say 6.3 weeks. After all the time we have invested in the book of course we’d say it’s better than the movie.
Reason #3 The book is usually better than the movie.
Still, I believe sometimes the movie can be just as good. Sometimes even better in it’s own way.
And I say all of this because the news is Ryan Fisher the feature film is in development as I type. The novel was optioned by producer who’s worked with some great A list actors and directors. And while I can’t give all the details here just yet, I can say it looks like Ryan Fisher the film could be coming to a theater near you
So read the book and then you can decide for yourself if it’s better than the movie. If you have read the book who would you like to see cast as Ryan, Katherine, Clovis, and Cowboy Jack? Who should direct the movie?
