It feels strange to be on the other end of interviews these days. I’m used to asking the questions. Anyway, I’m happy to report that both Christianity Today and Regal Books have posted interviews with me about Through a Screen Darkly this week. Read more
FYI: Regal Books has posted an interview with me about the Through a Screen Darkly project. [2013 Update: Looks like Regal’s website has lost track of this link. Hmmm.] Read more
Infuze Magazine’s Robin Parrish just posted a new interview with Ralph Winter about the next Fantastic Four flick, The Screwtape Letters, and more…. And his report reveals what Ralph told me a few weeks back — that he’s hoping to have Randall Wallace (We Were Soldiers, Braveheart) write the Screwtape adaptation. Interesting choice. That would certainly be a different kind of challenge for Wallace. Read more

Many, many thanks to Peter T. Chattaway for doing a great job covering Film Forum while I spent several days revising Auralia’s Colors. (Four days straight, from 8am to 10:30pm working on my laptop, finding better words for things. Whew. And it ain’t over yet.)
