Hi Gordan! i was wondering about your book restart. Will there ever be a movie? if so can you please tell me when?? Your book was so deeply connected to me for some reason! I'm really hoping you make a movie!

Sincerely - Cory 😊

Hi, Cory,

Thanks for posting. A lot of my readers have been asking for a RESTART movie. So I'll tell you what I tell them: authors write books, and film companies make movies. It wouldn't be up to me to make a movie, which is an art form VERY far removed from novel-writing. So if a filmmaker comes along who really likes RESTART, he would buy the film rights from me, write the script, cast all the parts, raise the money, and make the movie. Let's keep a good thought and hope it happens!

I'm glad RESTART seems to have become very special to you. Thanks for writing to let me know.

Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
