My friend, the film critic Ryan Gilbey , recently wrote this piece for the New Statesman in Britain about my work on the first three drafts of the script of Jonathan Glazer's upcoming film, Under The Skin , released April 4 in the US and already in release in the UK and elsewhere.

Ryan's review of Under The Skin is here , and to experience more of Ryan's work, check out the Guardian article about my lifelong friend and collaborator (on Insignificance ), the great British filmmaker, Nicolas Roeg, at the end of this blog post from June 3 2012: Nicolas Roeg - His Own Timing, His Own Wisdom and Kindness.

Here is the embedded YouTube video of my 45 minute talk about screenwriting for the Hollywood studios and independents, at Film Fest Twain Harte. It includes my account of working with Angelina Jolie and Jodie Foster, and of working with Tim Roth to adapt my novel, The War Zone , into the  highly acclaimed film.
