Ep. 97 - Our Kind of Traitor & Adapting Books To Screen

This week it's all about adaptation. ​ First Hollister & O'Toole discuss Our Kind of Traitor - based on the 22nd novel by John Le Carré (The Night Manager; Most Wanted Man). ​ Film directed by Susanna White; starring Ewan McGregor, Damian Lewis, Stellan Skarsgård and Moneypenny - a/k/a Naomie Harris (Spectre).   ​ Then hear from the authors of The Danish Girl; Still Alice; and The Finest Hours - a fascinating Book to Screen panel @ #PIFF2016. ​ How having your book adapted is like selling your apartment; the difference between sympathy and empathy for your characters; and, of course, tales from the Oscars (yes, there are TWO red carpets).
