Interview: Novelist Matt Bondurant on ‘Lawless’ Book-to-Film Adaptation
Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 27, 2012 - 3:22pmCHICAGO – Ernest Hemingway said the best way to handle Hollywood film adaptations is to meet at the border, throw your book in, have Hollywood throw the money back, and then run from each other in opposite directions.

He seems to be making movies most people like but no one loves or hates. The sequel to one of his best films is a good drama but doesn’t really resonate like the man used to do every time out.
