Ask Bob Greenberger
War Wager:
Would you like to involved in an A/P/AvP movie in any way?
bobgreenberger:
Good question. Honestly, I have no aspirations for film or television writing. They are formats that I find daunting. Having said that, I actually have notions for two movies and some day I may try my hand at them.
Meantime, I'd love a crack at Alien or another shot at Predator and have made certain my editor is aware of this.
War Wager:
Write a good AvP script and hand it to Fox fast, before they hire Shane Salerno again! :P

Mr Greenberger,
I really liked Predator: Flesh and Blood and I also agree about everything you've about movie tie in writers. You guys just don't get enough credit. I am a big movie novelization collector and I feel that Novelizations definitely add a great deal to the richness of movie going. I ususally read the Novelization after I've seen the film to broaden my film knowledge.
The best Novelizations I've read is The Abyss's Novelization by Orson Scott Card and the Alien Series Novelizations by Alan Dean Forster. But the most profilic Movie Tie -in writer is of course your President Max Allan Collins. I am not exactly a big fan of his writing style, but I'll definitely be picking up his Mummy: Curse of the Dragon King and X-Files 2 novelizations later this year.
Thanks!
bobgreenberger:
Thanks for the kind words, Felix. For my next trick, in late May, DH Books should be releasing my novelization to Hellboy II:The Golden Army. Being my first actual novelization, I am hoping I did a creditable job.
Max does his best writing on his own, original fiction. The novelizations are meat and potatoes writing for him, I think.
