Will Best Selling Novel Find Film Audience?


“I’ve learned it’s very difficult to articulate a lot of things about experience. It’s probably why I became a writer.” __ Susan Minot

Will the film version of Minot's best selling novel Evening translate to screen as beautifully as The Hours? While Minot originally attempted to adapt Evening for screen, the task eventually went to Michael Cunningham (The Hours). Expect changes between Minot's novel and the film version.

Perhaps more importantly, will Evening find an audience today as films like say Steel Magnolias or Terms of Endearment did in the 1980's? Evening opens in theatres this week with a stellar cast.
