Here's what finally convinced Judy Blume to OK a film adaptation of AreYouThereGodItsMeMargaret over 50 years after the book was first published ...
Over 50 years since her novel Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret was published, author Judy Blume is now serving as a producer on the feature film adaptation. In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, Blume opens up about why writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig was the creative that inspired her to finally say yes to Margaret’s silver screen debut.
For all of that and much more, watch or read on, and be sure to catch Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret on the big screen on April 28th! Kelly for you, I was reading a little bit about how you had been working on the script for this for about a year. What would you say is the biggest difference between draft one and what we see on screen in the finished film?BLUME: A lot. I would say a lot because I remember it, all the different drafts.
Judy, even having written this book yourself, was there any part of the story that became stronger than you ever could have imagined when you saw it on screen? Something that gave even you a greater appreciation for an element of your own book? FREMON CRAIG: Yes. I think that you're so right. I feel like you can come of age at any age, and I feel like I'm constantly on that journey, you know what I mean? Every time I have to step up and embody some new role or do something that's uncomfortable, I feel like an awkward 12-year-old all over again. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know, but I definitely – there's something about this particular period of life that always is fascinating to me.
