Best Selling Author Ben Mezrich Discusses Brett Ratner Idea for his New Book and the Movie Adaptation on Maria Menounos' Book Circle Online
(PRWEB) October 01, 2014 -- On Brett Ratner giving him the idea for his new book:
Mezrich says that Brett Ratner initially gave him the idea for his new book, Seven Wonders. Mezrich says, "I was on the phone with Brett Ratner and he asked if I knew anything about the Seven Wonders of the World 'because if you did, we could make a really cool movie.'"
On Fox producing the movie version:
Mezrich says that Seven Wonders has been sold to Fox and the decision is up to them, but the goal is to shoot in each of the Seven Wonders of the world. He says, "It would be a great big budget movie. That's the goal. That's Brett Ratner's goal."
On the screenplay and casting:
Mezrich says, "The screenplay is almost done, so then we'll start thinking about who would play Jack Grady."
On two follow-up books
Mezrich says that he has plans for a trilogy that will feature the same characters, but it will not be set in the Seven Wonders. The main character's father was referenced often in Seven Wonders and Mezrich says, "He's in the second book."
