She’s kind of a quieter fangirl, not as much screaming. I’ve seen a lot of that and it’s a very loud thing. You know, it’s funny because I hadn’t really considered she is the ultimate fangirl. I thought it all worked out in a very coherent and simplified version.Īs someone who’s created something with such fanfare, how do you relate to Jane’s fandom of Jane Austen? They did some tailoring specific to Keri too. I was like, “But I like the way this starts in the book.” And they came up with a version that works really well. There are actually quite a few departures from the novel and at first I actually as more resistant than the author. My dream would be to some day put every scene in and have the four-hour version on a DVD somewhere.ĭoes the filmmaker, like in this case Jerusha, ever win you over to something she’s changing for the movie? I think that was the biggest challenge, surrendering the rehearsal scene with James Callis was I think my biggest problem with the whole movie. With this one, I thought it was hard that we couldn’t get everything in the script into the movie because the script wasn’t very long, but when we filmed it, if we put in every scene that we filmed, it would’ve been four hours long. I imagine if we were doing a longer book even that would be challenging. What were they thinking with this? Why would that cut that out?” I’m very judgey about book adaptations so I guess I always kind of wanted to be involved in those decisions.ĭoes that make it easier or harder when you’re so specific about the book as a fan, that you want everything in the movie? I was very practical, but I did always love movie adaptations and I’m one of those armchair people who will sit there and be like, “Oh, they totally should have cast that person. I was not very ambitious about creative things. Jerusha, the director, did the screenplay with Shannon Hale who wrote the novel, so the children just really seemed like they had a really great time bouncing ideas and coming up with all kinds of crazy things.ĭid you always want to be a movie producer? Reading it felt like watching a movie and that’s kind of where the original idea came from because it was just so clearly ready to be a movie. It’s not long and it’s full of constant movement.
