They say the book is always better than the movie.
Creative Writing Prof. Laura Kasischke, though, isn’t afraid of what she’ll see on the silver screen when “In Bloom” premiers this fall.
The film, starring Uma Thurman, is based on Kasischke’s novel, “The Life Before Her Eyes.”
The novel tells the story of a 40-year-old woman who was spared in a school shooting at age 17. Her friend was not so fortunate. As the protagonist enters middle age, the shooting begins to come back to haunt her, and she is forced to deal with the consequences.
The movie rights to “The Life before Her Eyes” were purchased about five years ago, Kasischke said, but she didn’t find out Uma Thurman would be starring until last May.
The film’s release will be the culmination of a long process that left her wondering if the movie would ever be made, she said.
