BOOBOO STEWART in THE PINEVILLE HEIST

 

 

 

5. After hitting the Amazon's Bestseller List, your novel has attracted attention in Hollywood (congrats!). Can you tell us a little bit about the upcoming movie adaptation? Did you have any say in choosing the cast?

 

 

 

Well to be honest, the screenplay I drafted up with my buddy Todd Gordon did that before the book. Casting? I have a lot to say about casting as… I’ll be directing the movie version! The whole story revolves around my jump from directing short films to feature films. I was looking at who I would want to play Aaron Stevens in the movie version and Booboo Stewart from Twilight was perfect. Luckily, he agreed to read the script and he loved it!
