Hypable spoke with Wonderstruck author and screenwriter Brian Selznick ahead of a screening of his book’s adaptation to find out more about how he was involved in the process.

Last night at the Oscars six out of the nine films nominated were movies adapted from books.  In total there were eleven adaptations nominated.  So while last night may have been a big night for movies, it is safe to say that it was also a big night for books.
