Hi, Owen,

Thanks for posting. Actually, there are several movies based on my books. There are 3 Bruno & Boots movies that were on Netflix for a long time — This Can’t Be Happening At Macdonald Hall, Go Jump in the Pool, and The Wizzle War.  There was also a Nickelodeon movie based on SWINDLE. And there was a Disney channel TV series based on my Monday Night Football Club series.

The thing is, I don’t make movies. Authors write books and film companies make movies. If film people find a book they think would make a good movie, they buy the movie rights from the author and publisher, write a script, and make the movie. A lot of my books are optioned for film but not many films actually get made. See how it works? 

Thanks again, Owen.                                                                      —–Gordon Korman—–
