Steve Hodel Pompidou Centre Q&A 4 Book to Film.wmv

Post presentation question from audience asking whether I have sold the film rights to my book and my response. At that time I had not, but several months later, NEW LINE CINEMA optioned BDA with an 18 month contract. It has since reverted back to me and I currently own the film rights again.

@haroof

Search in Google, "An open letter to Stephane Boulan" for answer.

Best, Steve

Steve, where do you & James stand right now as far as your relationship goes?

He seemed to be really on-board with your BDA when it first came out but now it seems like maybe things are strained between you guys.

I might be way off here.

In the original investigation Elizabeth told many of her friends that she was dating and going to marry "George" when he got out of the hospital. The friends passed this information on to the press and police. I haven't seen the DePalma film, but in the twenty-year old novel, Ellroy's suspect is also a "George." But, not George Hodel. No one publicly had ever heard of George Hodel until my book published in 2003.

In the DePalma Black Dahlia movie, which in the movie version anyway, is very bad fiction, in my opinion, still through the actors and actresses they keep saying throughout the movie that "George did it".
