“I basically wrote off Hollywood.”
The 59-year-old author has never watched either of the movie adaptations of his work –– and refused to consider other takes on the books as the flicks had deviated from the source material so much., Rick said: “After the movie experience, I basically wrote off Hollywood for a long, long time. I really didn't want to have anything to do with the film industry.”
“There were many years of me saying, ‘I don’t want to engage. I don't want to think about other adaptations. I’m done.’”He explained: “But when it started to become clear that something was going to happen with me or without me, I had a long talk with Becky, my wife. We said, ‘Well, if something’s going to happen, it’s probably best to give it one more shot.
Rick felt that one of the “fundamental mistakes” made in the movies was to age up the main characters but he couldn't be more pleased with the trio that will lead the TV show. He said: “Having been through the production process, I totally get why they did that. It’s much easier to work with older actors.”
