?? Tell us more about Blue Like Jazz the Movie ??
Published by bryan | Filed under Don Answers your ???s
A little while back Don answered a few questions about Blue Like Jazz the Movie and I never got around to posting them until now.
Josh wanted to know about cartoons being used in the movie, specifically Sexy Carrot. Don responded:
The guys have talked about using cartoons, but we’ve debated whether it would cheapen the film. I think the audience will be pleased, though, at how we have worked the sexy carrot character into the film…
Alyssa was curious if the confession booth story would find it’s way into the film, and Don answered:
That scene is in the movie but it is very different than it is in the book…and I think it is more powerful in many ways. I wish I could say more, but it would be a long explanation.

Are you really making a movie of your book Blue Like Jazz? If so will it be released in theatres or just on DVD?
Also, I have to ask how making a movie about such personal stories affects those people whose lives were really the stories? Did you ask the people in the book what it would be like for their lives to be portrayed on screen? That seems so counter to the Reed I know and the Reed written about in the book. It feels “commercial” - can you elaborate here?
