    Hi Mr. Korman, big fan, I love every single one of your books I read. My favorites are masterminds, the fort, and restart. I was wondering, will any of your books ever have movies/shows made? Thanks, and so excited to read snoop! 

    (P.S. please come to west hempstead middle school in new york,  you would be an amazing author visit!)

    Hi,Yaakov,


    Thanks for posting and for your suppport for my work. I agree -- most of it would make amazing movies. There already have been movies of the Macdonald Hall series. Also THE MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLUB series was done by Disney as THE JERSEY. And there has been a Nickelodeon version of SWINDLE. It's not up to me. I write books, and film companies make movies. There's a lot of stuff in the works, including the titles you mentioned. We'll have to see what gets to the screen and what falls thrugh the cracks, right? But thanks for your interest.


                                             Best regards,                                                             -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hi Gordon!


    I’m not the person who asked this, but I was wondering if one of the books in the works for maybe becoming a movie/tv show is Masterminds or if it just got optioned. Thank you so much!

    Hi, Lily,


    Anything optioned is in line to become a movie. Whether or not it will is quite another story,but optioned means someone is working towaeds it.                                                                                              ---GK---

    Dear Mr. Korman,


    I have been wondering about movies/TV shows about your books for a LONG time!!! I have read so many of your books over and over again and I didn’t know that there were movies already! One of my long-time favorites of the books and probably the book I’ve checked out the most at my local library is Unplugged. Is that one of the optioned books to become a movie?

    Hi, Trevor,


    So far, UNPLUGGED has managed to escape detection by film companies! Sorry. I agree -- it would make a fun movie.
