Time's Arrow in Production
from the Telegraph Amis's new commission [to write the screenplay for a film adaptation of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey] is the fruit of a million-dollar deal he struck three years ago with Tina Brown, another of his contemporaries at Oxford University, who took Amis on as a writer for the now-defunct Talk magazine, owned by Miramax. In addition to writing articles for the magazine, Amis agreed to publish three of his books with Talk Miramax, and to write screenplays for the company. Five of his books - The Information, London Fields, Money: a Suicide Note, Night Train and Rachel Papers: the Next Volume - have been optioned by Miramax, with Time's Arrow currently in production. Site manager's query: what the hell is Rachel Papers: the Next Volume? A Bridget Jones Diary for the testosterone-poisoned set? |
