For 'Up In The Air' Writer, Book, Film Different
Book and Author Reviews / News
The movie Up in the Air is based on author Walter Kirn's novel of the same name. Kirn had no part in writing the screenplay for the film, and he says the movie is understandably different from the book. Kirn says novels tend to come from the inside of a character, while movies look at them from the outside.
