In anticipation of the release of Earth Afire next week, Kelly and I talked with co-author Aaron Johnston about the book, the series, and his thoughts on book to film adaptations. Topics included:
- How collaboration works on books in general and how he and Card write these books together
- Their decision to exit Mazer so early in book 1
- Aaron’s personal take on movie Mazer’s tā moko tattoos
- The various versions of the movie script, the long road to production, and the difficulty of film adaptations
- Aaron’s thoughts on the production team for the movie
- His reaction to the trailer (he also drops a little bomb on us about the movie!)
- On why Speaker for the Dead is likely unfilmable
