Greetings, citizens! ROBOGEEK here with something pretty groovy to pass along.
This weekend I checked out Curtis ("L.A. Confidential") Hanson's fantastic new film "Wonder Boys" (go see it!), which was adapted from Michael Chabon's 1995 novel by Steve Kloves. As a result, Kloves just became one of my favorite screenwriters, though he's been around for years; he wrote and directed "Flesh and Bone" and "The Fabulous Baker Boys," and wrote "Racing the Moon." Currently he's adapting J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for Warner Bros., which Steven Spielberg passed on directing last week (just like we reported he would, btw).
Anyway, Michael Sragow over at Salon has done a truly outstanding (and extensive) interview with Kloves, which was published last week but just came to my attention today. (Sue me.) It's one of those rare articles that's so damn good, we'd be remiss if we didn't recommend it to our readers -- even if it does send them to someone else's site. (If you like it, come back here and click on an ad banner, would ya?)
