Hey, I’m Morrison, i turn 11 in less than two months, I wanted to ask about being in the Restart movie if one was made in the next few years, I dont have any acting experience but I would take dozens of lessons just to be apart of this movie. Restart was my favorite book and I know lots of people want a movie about it. -Morrison

Hi,Morrison,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART went over so well with you. I hope you'll go on to read many more of my books. The latest came out just a few days ago -- SLEEPLESS, making my total 108 titles.

As to a movie, that would be made by a film company who would buy the rights from me, but I wouldn't have any say in who plays what part. Sorry. But let's keep our fingers crssed and see if we can't wish a RESTART movie into existence! The book sure has a lot of fans!

Thanks again, Morrison! -----Gordon Korman-----

Thanks for responding, I really appreciate it and I also got Sleepless, I’m going to read it after I finish Hypergifted, every time I read one of your books I love it. Thanks for telling me about the movie casting. -Morrison
