Hey guys, a thread on a "What was this movie" made me do some research on the film The Puppet Masters (the one with Donald Sutherland) and I find this pretty interesting article written by one of the guy who wrote the original script for the film. It's a pretty fascinating look into the often bizarre process Hollywood often goes through in adapting a novel (or, I suppose writing any type of film.)
