If
my novel Love, Secrets, and Absolution was made into a movie
1)
Would
you want a Hollywood or British film production and why?
Most
definitely British, in order to retain the authenticity of the story. I have
watched far too many British stories, Americanised resulting in a complete
change of direction within the story.
2) Who
would you want to direct it and why?
Christopher
Nolan, a British director known for his determination to stick to the story
without diluting the content.
3) Where
would you film it?
One
of the local Nottinghamshire mining villages that have a welfare and rows of Pit houses. Forest Town is my first
choice. Blidworth my second choice.
4) Who
would be the big name star and what role would they play?
Brian
Blessed would play the grandfather.
5)
List
who would play all of the main characters, and why you have chosen them.
Grace.
Sheridan
Smith, because I have seen her in similar roles and she was outstanding.
Paul.
Daniel
Mays. Ever since I have seen him in Mrs Biggs with Sheridan Smith and more
recently Against the Law, I have
admired his work.
Grandmother.
Brenda
Blethyn. The part is perfect for her and she would be a great foil for Brian
Blessed.
Alfie.
Nico
Mirallegro. A superb good looking young actor who played a Goth in the drama, Killed for Being Different.
Magenta.
Abigail
Lawrie. An amazing young actress who played as a Goth alongside Nico Mirallegro
in the drama, Killed for Being Different.
6) If
you were given ten tickets to the movie premier, who would you invite and why?
Oh
dear. Ten is not enough. I have so many amazing friends and my family far
exceeds ten. I guess that I would invite both my husband and our five children.
My mum, my brother and two sisters. My
family will always come first to me and currently, my grandchildren are far too
young to appreciate a movie premier.
My thanks to KL Loveley for her time, and the team at Globeflower books - in particular Anna-Lisa Hasedzic for the opportunity to feature on the Blog Tour for this publication.
