This link is to a Wall Street Journal article written by Mr. B about his meeting with Bernard Berenson and what followed. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110004662 John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | |||

What a great article. But notice that this, to some degree, is what Bradbury has been doing in his own work. He has reworked Moby Dick, several times over. He has reworked his own stories for stage and screen. According to a couple of interviews I have read, when he dramatised his stories for Ray Bradbury Theater, he usually did it without looking back at his original story. So his scripts were not adaptations, but re-tellings. - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Listen to my Bradbury 100 podcast: https://tinyurl.com/bradbury100pod | ||||

SPOILER ALERT: In his most recent staging of Fahrenheit 451 Mr. B has brought Clarise back to like as one of the book people. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

Truffaut did that too, so maybe it's an old Bradbury idea? | ||||

Somewhere I have a copy of an interview with Ray where he says he liked Truffaut's revival of Clarisse, and that he decided to also revive her when writing his stage adaptation. So it appears to have been Truffaut's idea (or one of his scriptwriters). - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Listen to my Bradbury 100 podcast: https://tinyurl.com/bradbury100pod | ||||
