Dear Mr. Korman, I really enjoyed reading your book restart. I have a question for you: are you thinking about making a movie for it? In my opinion I would really want to see a movie about this book. This book was so good and it tells me that you can change no matter who you used to be even if you don’t have amnesia you always have the option to restart. Also the mini climaxes feel like giant climaxes. If you're not thinking about a movie can you please tell me why I would really like to know. If you are thinking about a movie, what do you imagine the characters looking like?

Hi, Hudson,

Nope, no movie. At least, not from me. Maybe a film company will read the book and decide it would make a great film. We'll just have to wait and see. And the characters will like a heck of a lot like the actors someone picks to play the parts, right? It won't be up to me. -----Gordon Korman-----
