Although I dream of my manuscripts being published and so darn popular they becomes films, I find screenwriting to be beyond my capabilities. However, your STFA offers so many valuable hints for us novel writers! You're a treasure. Thanks.

The film I keep going back to that is most like the book I'm working on is Se7en. It's a film that has stayed with me since the first time I watched it, yet also holds up through many re-watches. From the bleakness, to the smart serial killer to the twist at the end - it's just a whole vibe. More importantly though, I want my readers to feel that same "WTF just happened?" that many viewers felt after watching Se7en.
