Nicole Wasson asked Paul Tremblay:

Hi Paul, first off, you are my favorite new author. Head Full of Ghosts was my favorite but Devil's Rock and Cabin were fantastic as well. I am very much looking forward to seeing Head Full of Ghosts adapted for the screen but let's face it...I'm scared! How involved are you going to be with the process? What are the things that you refuse to deviate from, even if the studio wants to edit? Are you writing screenplay?

Paul Tremblay Hi, Nicole. Thank you very much for the read and kind words!

I have no contractual/official say with either adaptation right now. AHFoG is getting close, I'm told. Osgood Perkins is directing and hopefully we'll see some more movement forward soon.

With Cabin they are looking for directors now.

So, yeah, I'm not writing either screenplay, though the very nice Cabin folks have been asking for my feedback on the process so far. The movie in both cases are their own thing, separate from the book. I just hope that the movie captures the thematic spirit of the novel.

Ann Marie asked Paul Tremblay:

Is Head Full of Ghosts being made into a movie?. I have a 7 yr older sister I feel like she scared the sh*t out of me in some of these same ways as a child.. However we are older now. There are sisters out there, that really do things like this. I wonder if you had the idea because you had an older sister and will u cast Amber Heard as the older sister? Also, Catriona Ward? Yes? I love her! Have you read her?

Don Elbag jr. asked Paul Tremblay:

I recently learned that I loved to write. Two of your books gave me the inspiration to start, Cabin at the End of the World and Growing Things. That being said how do you find the time to write while working a full time job? Do you feel that either of your careers suffers because you focus too much on one or the other? And finally how do you find the time to do anything other than write and plan for classes?
