Will this novel ever be turned into a movie?
It should be .

Dear David, many thanks for your message.  I agree with you that Dark Matter would make a good film (in the right hands).  And over the years it’s been optioned by a couple of film companies.  They’ve got as far as a script, but then things have petered out.  This is far from unusual; in fact it’s what normally happens with film deals (I read somewhere that roughly 90% of them don’t result in a film).   However if things change with Dark Matter, I shall most certainly post the news on my website.  Again, thanks for getting in touch – and I hope you have a happy and peaceful New Year.  Best wishes, Michelle
