Best Science Fiction Novels of the 80's
The 1980s were a wonderful decade for science fiction books. It was, although not widely appreciated at the time, a golden age of speculative literature, with new styles and themes flourishing while the older strands of the tapestry were woven ever more richly. The sub-genre of "Cyberpunk" was launched by William Gibson and and promoted by Bruce Sterling. There was a resurgence of "hard Sci Fi". Fantasy headed in unexpected directions, with major new voices, and horror (with Stephen King and John Crowley leading the pack) darkened into the "splatterpunk" subgenre, which held that the supernatural was part of a spectrum of terror that included the reality of serial killers, genocide, child molestation, and the like. Sophisticated writers created "cross-genre" books that combined aspects of Fantasy and Science Fiction in new ways, most notably J. G. Ballard and Gene Wolfe.
Here is my top 5 in reverse order...
No. 5
Contact by Carl Sagan
It was probably sheer luck that caused the many radio telescopes of the Argus project to point at the star system of Vega at exactly the right time. If the telescopes hadn't been looking at the star that night, the scientists watching over the signals picked up by the telescopes may never have discovered the first sign of life outside our planet. But they caught a broadcast of prime numbers, a message that would change the course of Earth's history forever
No. 4
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
Three thousand planet-bound years have fled since Ender Wiggin won humanity's war with the Buggers by totally destroying them. Ender remains young-travelling the stars at relativistic speeds, a hundred years or more might pass while he experiences a month-long voyage. In three thousand years, his books The Hive Queen and The Hegemon have become holy writ, and the name of Ender anathema; he is the Xenocide, the one who killed an entire race of thinking, feeling beings, the only other sapient race humankind had found in all the galaxy. The only ones, that is, until the planet called Lusitania was discovered and colonized.
No. 3
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope—and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
No. 2
Neuromancer By William Gibson
Case had been the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction.
No 1
Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card
In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut—young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. Ender's Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

[Originally published by John Matheny, 2011]
Floating Lodge - Month 12 - Modern Hermetic Traditions: Authors: Robert Anton Wilson [Supplementary material: video] Wilson was a proponent of suspending belief in a general state of agnosticism. Notice this allows him to not merely turn away from belief structures, but allows him to embrace them and search for correspondences between various belief systems or individual author's views.
Robert Anton Wilson discusses the Western hermetic tradition, the Illuminati of Bavaria, the Freemasons to the Priory of Scion, the Bilderbergers. Carl Jung, Philip K. Dick, Rajneesh, Jean Cocteau, Aleister Crowley, the Gnomes of Zurich, Harvey's 6-foot white rabbit and more. Along the way there are the strange connections among Nostradamus and the earthquakes in Los Angeles, the Merovingians and extraterrestrials from Sirius, Rastafarians and the Cult of the Black Virgin, Atlantis and Satan, the Vatican Bank and the Mafia.
Robert Anton Wilson (born Robert Edward Wilson; January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007) was an American author, novelist, essayist, editor, playwright, poet, futurist, psychologist, and self-described agnostic mystic. Recognized as an Episkopos, Pope, and saint of Discordianism, Wilson helped publicize the group through his writings and interviews.
Wilson described his work as an "attempt to break down conditioned associations, to look at the world in a new way, with many models recognized as models or maps, and no one model elevated to the truth". His goal being "to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone but agnosticism about everything.
In his nonfiction and partly autobiographical Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati (1977) and its two sequels, as well as in many other works, Wilson examined Freemasons, Discordianism, Sufism, the Illuminati, Futurology, Zen Buddhism, Dennis and Terence McKenna, Jack Parsons, the occult practices of Aleister Crowley and G.I. Gurdjieff, Yoga, and many other esoteric or counterculture philosophies, personalities, and occurrences.
Wilson advocated Timothy Leary's 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness and neurosomatic/linguistic engineering, which he wrote about in many books including Prometheus Rising (1983, revised 1997) and Quantum Psychology (1990), which contain practical techniques intended to help the reader break free of one's reality tunnels. With Leary, he helped promote the futurist ideas of space migration, intelligence increase, and life extension, which they combined to form the word symbol SMI²LE.
Wilson's 1986 book, The New Inquisition, argues that whatever reality consists of it actually would seem much weirder than we commonly imagine. It cites, among other sources, Bell's theorem and Alain Aspect's experimental proof of Bell's to suggest that mainstream science has a strong materialist bias, and that in fact modern physics may have already disproved materialist metaphysics.
Wilson also supported the work and utopian theories of Buckminster Fuller and examined the theories of Charles Fort. He and Loren Coleman became friends, as he did with media theorist Marshall McLuhan and Neuro Linguistic Programming co-founder Richard Bandler, with whom he taught workshops. He also admired James Joyce, and wrote extensive commentaries on the author and on two of Joyce's novels, Finnegans Wake and Ulysses, in his 1988 book Coincidance: A Head Test.
Although Wilson often lampooned and criticized some New Age beliefs, bookstores specializing in New Age material often sell his books. Wilson, a well-known author in occult and Neo-Pagan circles, used Aleister Crowley as a main character in his 1981 novel Masks of the Illuminati, also included some elements of H. P. Lovecraft's work in his novels, and at times claimed to have perceived encounters with magical "entities" (when asked whether these entities seemed "real", he answered they seemed "real enough," although "not as real as the IRS" but "easier to get rid of", and later decided that his experiences may have emerged from "just my right brain hemisphere talking to my left"). He warned against beginners using occult practice, since to rush into such practices and the resulting "energies" they unleash could lead people to "go totally nuts".

James Bond having Gnostic sensibilities? No, I'm not starting to see Gnosticism in everything. This is confirmed by an interview given by Ian Fleming himself. To expand on this, we delve into the secret life of the author of the James Bond novels, pregnant with esoteric and occult habits, from rubbing shoulders with Aleister Crowley to channeling the Enochian Magick of John Dee. Even Fleming’s books and movies are replete with hidden codes beyond espionage, revealing a dark genius of the ages.

Who do you want to see on this season’s Roundtables? Tell us in the comments below! “One of the things I've noticed working in films and books is that there's way more opportunity for self-doubt in movies because you get turned down endlessly by an endless numbers of people,” says ‘Brooklyn’ screenwriter Nick Hornby during The Hollywood Reporter's Writer Oscar Roundtable. 'Brooklyn' gave Hornby his second Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay, following his nod for 'An Education' in 2009. He also wrote the novel 'High Fidelity,' which has been adapted into a feature film and Broadway musical. 'Brooklyn' stars Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson and Julie Walters.

Famous quotes by John Crowley:
"With some people I'm sure that trust has been regained, and some people are still a 'Show Me' kind of thing... I think Fletcher Allen has made a great deal of progress."
"All of the hospitals, we think, are doing well, ... And of course that's our job, to determine that they do well -- but not too well. That's what this whole process is about."
"We're seeing gangrenous legs ... people are going to lose limbs at this point. They're actually going to have to go to surgery and get them cut off."
"The state has made efforts, intensive efforts as I understand it, to get people to sign up."
"I thought the kids played their hearts out."
"They played a very up-tempo game, which is what we wanted from the beginning. This was probably the most complete game we played in about three weeks. We did a nice job overall."
"We just thought there was a real need [for the course] because wireless networks are becoming more pervasive. It's not going to teach [the students] everything they need to know about security. But it will be enough to get them started on the right road."
"A war driver drives through neighborhoods with a laptop computer looking for unprotected wireless networks [to hack into]."
"It dialed the Yellow Cab Co. in Brockton."
"The cab driver gave the officer an earring he found inside his cab right after he dropped the fare off,"
"Fundamentally, whether directing in the theatre or a film, you have to be a good storyteller, regardless of the form. The thing I had to work hardest at was thinking in shots."
"The bottom line is, it's a great script and that's very inspiring and makes you want to overcome whatever technical difficulties you come up against."
"I had very clever producers, who scheduled it brilliantly, but scheduling it was a nightmare."
"But I'm very happy to work within tight parameters, and when you know you have an actor for two days, and you have to get that work done in two days, that focuses the mind wonderfully."
"Certainly it's very difficult to keep momentum going through a film which has as many characters as this does, and the piece took on a life of its own to try and shape it. That took all the time we had in editing."

Best Sci Fi Novels of the 80's
http://tinyurl.com/P2R-Amazon Best Science Fiction Novels of the 80's The 1980s were a wonderful decade for science fiction books. It was, although not widely appreciated at the time, a golden age of speculative literature, with new styles and themes flourishing while the older strands of the tapestry were woven ever more richly. The sub-genre of "Cyberpunk" was launched by William Gibson and and promoted by Bruce Sterling. There was a resurgence of "hard Sci Fi". Fantasy headed in unexpected directions, with major new voices, and horror (with Stephen King and John Crowley leading the pack) darkened into the "splatterpunk" subgenre, which held that the supernatural was part of a spectrum of terror that included the reality of serial killers, genocide, child molestation, and the like.

Robert Anton Wilson THE "I" IN THE TRIANGLE
[Originally published by John Matheny, 2011] Floating Lodge - Month 12 - Modern Hermetic Traditions: Authors: Robert Anton Wilson [Supplementary material: video] Wilson was a proponent of suspending belief in a general state of agnosticism. Notice this allows him to not merely turn away from belief structures, but allows him to embrace them and search for correspondences between various belief systems or individual author's views. Robert Anton Wilson discusses the Western hermetic tradition, the Illuminati of Bavaria, the Freemasons to the Priory of Scion, the Bilderbergers. Carl Jung, Philip K. Dick, Rajneesh, Jean Cocteau, Aleister Crowley, the Gnomes of Zurich, Harvey's 6-foot white rabbit and more. Along the way there are the strange connections among Nostradamus and the earthquakes... -
The Gnostic James Bond
James Bond having Gnostic sensibilities? No, I'm not starting to see Gnosticism in everything. This is confirmed by an interview given by Ian Fleming himself. To expand on this, we delve into the secret life of the author of the James Bond novels, pregnant with esoteric and occult habits, from rubbing shoulders with Aleister Crowley to channeling the Enochian Magick of John Dee. Even Fleming’s books and movies are replete with hidden codes beyond espionage, revealing a dark genius of the ages.

Best Science Fiction Novels of the 80's
The 1980s were a wonderful decade for science fiction books. It was, although not widely appreciated at the time, a golden age of speculative literature, with new styles and themes flourishing while the older strands of the tapestry were woven ever more richly. The sub-genre of "Cyberpunk" was launched by William Gibson and and promoted by Bruce Sterling. There was a resurgence of "hard Sci Fi". Fantasy headed in unexpected directions, with major new voices, and horror (with Stephen King and John Crowley leading the pack) darkened into the "splatterpunk" subgenre, which held that the supernatural was part of a spectrum of terror that included the reality of serial killers, genocide, child molestation, and the like. Sophisticated writers created "cross-genre" books that combined aspects of Fantasy and Science Fiction in new ways, most notably J. G. Ballard and Gene Wolfe.
Here is my top 5 in reverse order...
No. 5
Contact by Carl Sagan
It was probably sheer luck that caused the many radio telescopes of the Argus project to point at the star system of Vega at exactly the right time. If the telescopes hadn't been looking at the star that night, the scientists watching over the signals picked up by the telescopes may never have discovered the first sign of life outside our planet. But they caught a broadcast of prime numbers, a message that would change the course of Earth's history forever
No. 4
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
Three thousand planet-bound years have fled since Ender Wiggin won humanity's war with the Buggers by totally destroying them. Ender remains young-travelling the stars at relativistic speeds, a hundred years or more might pass while he experiences a month-long voyage. In three thousand years, his books The Hive Queen and The Hegemon have become holy writ, and the name of Ender anathema; he is the Xenocide, the one who killed an entire race of thinking, feeling beings, the only other sapient race humankind had found in all the galaxy. The only ones, that is, until the planet called Lusitania was discovered and colonized.
No. 3
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope—and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
No. 2
Neuromancer By William Gibson
Case had been the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction.
No 1
Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card
In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut—young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. Ender's Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Robert Anton Wilson THE "I" IN THE TRIANGLE

[Originally published by John Matheny, 2011]
Floating Lodge - Month 12 - Modern Hermetic Traditions: Authors: Robert Anton Wilson [Supplementary material: video] Wilson was a proponent of suspending belief in a general state of agnosticism. Notice this allows him to not merely turn away from belief structures, but allows him to embrace them and search for correspondences between various belief systems or individual author's views.
Robert Anton Wilson discusses the Western hermetic tradition, the Illuminati of Bavaria, the Freemasons to the Priory of Scion, the Bilderbergers. Carl Jung, Philip K. Dick, Rajneesh, Jean Cocteau, Aleister Crowley, the Gnomes of Zurich, Harvey's 6-foot white rabbit and more. Along the way there are the strange connections among Nostradamus and the earthquakes in Los Angeles, the Merovingians and extraterrestrials from Sirius, Rastafarians and the Cult of the Black Virgin, Atlantis and Satan, the Vatican Bank and the Mafia.
Robert Anton Wilson (born Robert Edward Wilson; January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007) was an American author, novelist, essayist, editor, playwright, poet, futurist, psychologist, and self-described agnostic mystic. Recognized as an Episkopos, Pope, and saint of Discordianism, Wilson helped publicize the group through his writings and interviews.
Wilson described his work as an "attempt to break down conditioned associations, to look at the world in a new way, with many models recognized as models or maps, and no one model elevated to the truth". His goal being "to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone but agnosticism about everything.
In his nonfiction and partly autobiographical Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati (1977) and its two sequels, as well as in many other works, Wilson examined Freemasons, Discordianism, Sufism, the Illuminati, Futurology, Zen Buddhism, Dennis and Terence McKenna, Jack Parsons, the occult practices of Aleister Crowley and G.I. Gurdjieff, Yoga, and many other esoteric or counterculture philosophies, personalities, and occurrences.
Wilson advocated Timothy Leary's 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness and neurosomatic/linguistic engineering, which he wrote about in many books including Prometheus Rising (1983, revised 1997) and Quantum Psychology (1990), which contain practical techniques intended to help the reader break free of one's reality tunnels. With Leary, he helped promote the futurist ideas of space migration, intelligence increase, and life extension, which they combined to form the word symbol SMI²LE.
Wilson's 1986 book, The New Inquisition, argues that whatever reality consists of it actually would seem much weirder than we commonly imagine. It cites, among other sources, Bell's theorem and Alain Aspect's experimental proof of Bell's to suggest that mainstream science has a strong materialist bias, and that in fact modern physics may have already disproved materialist metaphysics.
Wilson also supported the work and utopian theories of Buckminster Fuller and examined the theories of Charles Fort. He and Loren Coleman became friends, as he did with media theorist Marshall McLuhan and Neuro Linguistic Programming co-founder Richard Bandler, with whom he taught workshops. He also admired James Joyce, and wrote extensive commentaries on the author and on two of Joyce's novels, Finnegans Wake and Ulysses, in his 1988 book Coincidance: A Head Test.
Although Wilson often lampooned and criticized some New Age beliefs, bookstores specializing in New Age material often sell his books. Wilson, a well-known author in occult and Neo-Pagan circles, used Aleister Crowley as a main character in his 1981 novel Masks of the Illuminati, also included some elements of H. P. Lovecraft's work in his novels, and at times claimed to have perceived encounters with magical "entities" (when asked whether these entities seemed "real", he answered they seemed "real enough," although "not as real as the IRS" but "easier to get rid of", and later decided that his experiences may have emerged from "just my right brain hemisphere talking to my left"). He warned against beginners using occult practice, since to rush into such practices and the resulting "energies" they unleash could lead people to "go totally nuts".

James Bond having Gnostic sensibilities? No, I'm not starting to see Gnosticism in everything. This is confirmed by an interview given by Ian Fleming himself. To expand on this, we delve into the secret life of the author of the James Bond novels, pregnant with esoteric and occult habits, from rubbing shoulders with Aleister Crowley to channeling the Enochian Magick of John Dee. Even Fleming’s books and movies are replete with hidden codes beyond espionage, revealing a dark genius of the ages.

“One of the things I've noticed working in films and books is that there's way more opportunity for self-doubt in movies because you get turned down endlessly by an endless numbers of people,” says ‘Brooklyn’ screenwriter Nick Hornby during The Hollywood Reporter's Writer Oscar Roundtable. 'Brooklyn' gave Hornby his second Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay, following his nod for 'An Education' in 2009. He also wrote the novel 'High Fidelity,' which has been adapted into a feature film and Broadway musical. 'Brooklyn' stars Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson and Julie Walters.

Interview with director John Crowley about his latest film Closed Circuit, how he put the film's opening CCTV scene together, meeting an ex-secret services operative, CCTV cameras in London, the most disconcerting thing he found out about the secret services, and how he films London.
Set in London and starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall, the film follows a high-profile terrorism case as it unexpectedly brings together two ex-lovers on the defense team -- testing the limits of their loyalties and placing their lives in jeopardy.
Closed Circuit is in UK cinemas on 25 October 2013.

Director John Crowley Talks BROOKLYN at Sundance 2015
“1950s Ireland: Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) must confront a terrible dilemma — a heartbreaking choice between two men (Domhnall Gleeson, Emory Cohen) and two countries, between duty and true love.” When I first read the one liner for director John Crowley’s immigrant drama Brooklyn before Sundance began, I figured it would end up being a slow moving period piece that might appeal to a small segment of moviegoers. I could not have been more wrong. Now that Sundance is over, I can say Brooklyn was one of my favorite films at this year’s festival. Loaded with fantastic performances (especially Saoirse Ronan), a smart and funny script by Nick Hornby, and brilliant direction by John Crowley, Brooklyn is one of those special films that will connect with anyone who has a heart.

“1950s Ireland: Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) must confront a terrible dilemma — a heartbreaking choice between two men (Domhnall Gleeson, Emory Cohen) and two countries, between duty and true love.”
When I first read the one liner for director John Crowley’s immigrant drama Brooklyn before Sundance began, I figured it would end up being a slow moving period piece that might appeal to a small segment of moviegoers. I could not have been more wrong. Now that Sundance is over, I can say Brooklyn was one of my favorite films at this year’s festival. Loaded with fantastic performances (especially Saoirse Ronan), a smart and funny script by Nick Hornby, and brilliant direction by John Crowley, Brooklyn is one of those special films that will connect with anyone who has a heart. It explains why Fox Searchlight paid $9 million to acquire it shortly after the premiere.
While I could try and sum up what the film is about, I think Adam did a great job in his review:
“The immigrant story is one that has been told countless times over, but director John Crowley’s moving and funny Brooklyn brings a degree of empathy to this particular tale that is rare. In chronicling the move of a young Irish woman in the 1950s from her home country to New York City, Crowley takes an intimate view of what it means leave family and try to make a new home in someplace entirely unfamiliar. Hornby’s sharp, sincere script and wonderful lead performances result in a touching and extremely empathetic chronicle of love, loss, and the idea of “home”.”
Also, while the film takes place in the 1950s, it really is a timeless story. I cannot recommend this film enough.
Shortly after the world premiere I sat down with Crowley for an exclusive video interview about his film. He talked about the experience of showing the movie for the first time at Sundance, the positive reviews and audience response, the genesis of the project and how he got ahold of the screenplay, how the film is about the "state of exile" and a "portrait of a young woman coming into her own power," filming on location in Ireland, Montreal, and New York, his first cut, how he found out the film had gotten into Sundance, the film's unexpected humor, Saoirse Ronan, and a lot more.
As usual, I’ve time indexed the interview to provide an overview of the conversation.
:06 - Talk about how great the movie is and how it hits people in different ways.
:40 - What was the premiere of the film like for him?
1:33 - On getting so much acclaim and such a positive audience response.
2:08 - On the genesis of the project and how he got ahold of the screenplay.
3:04 - Says it wasn't a long development process.
3:20 - Talk about how different the first cut is to the final film.
3:56 - On his "informal" test-screening process.
4:38 - When did he find out he was getting into Sundance and how long did he have to keep it secret?
5:43 - Says he wasn't racing to finish the film and the final mix was completed the week before Christmas
6:26 - Talk about filming on location in Ireland, Montreal, and New York. Says he's never shot in two countries before.
8:15 - What does he want people to know about the film?
8:53 - Says that the film is about the "state of exile" and a "portrait of a young woman coming into her own power".
9:23 - Talk about the film's unexpected humor and that it was difficult to sell
10:37 - Says it's a "particularly Irish mix" of extreme humor and profound sadness.
11:25 - Talk about the success of the second Sundance screening.
12:00 - Talk about the fact that it's a 1950's story, but the story is timeless. Says that the story has a mythic structure underneath.
13:38 - On working with Saoirse Ronan to craft her fantastic performance, and how she lived a version of the story while working on the project. Calls it the "absolute right actor meeting the right part at the right time in her life".
16:02 - Talk about his distribution plans and where he's at in the sales process.

‘Brooklyn’ Helmer John Crowley To Direct Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Novel ‘Goldfinch’ EXCLUSIVE: Brooklyn helmer John Crowley has been tapped by RatPac Entertainment and Warner Bros to direct the screen adaptation of Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller The Goldfinch. The film will be produced by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force, along with RatPac’s Brett Ratner, with James Packer executive producer. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy scribe Peter Straughan wrote the script.The novel focuses on Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker who survives an accident that kills his beloved mother. Abandoned by his father and unable to mesh in the elite social circle after he’s taken in by a wealthy friend, Decker stays connected to his mother through a small painting that eventually draws him into the art underworld. Courtenay Valenti and Racheline Benveniste are overseeing for Warner Bros.This is a plum assignment for Crowley, coming at a time when the Irish filmmaker is soaring. Brooklyn, which starred Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson and Emory Cohen, was a Best Picture Oscar nominee. Crowley previously directed the films Intermission and the heartbreaking drama Boy A, the latter of which won Crowley the BAFTA for Best Director. Crowley will direct Cate Blanchett in her Broadway debut early next year in The Present, a reimagining of Chekhov’s first play that was adapted by Andrew Upton and will also star Richard Roxburgh.
