Show Notes
Author Edward Ashton (MICKEY7, ANTIMATTER BLUES) joins the show to reflect on having his work adapted by director Bong Joon-Ho into the 2025 film "Mickey 17." In episode 346, Luke Elliott & James Bailey add to their "Creative Conversations" series where they discuss adaptations previously covered with someone directly involved in their creation. Topics include the origins of the Mickey7, why Ed would never use a teleporter, how his cancer research and scientific background influences his writing, the one thing Bong Joon-Ho told him to take from the set, his interpretation of Mickey's final vision in the film, and which books of his he could see being adapted in the future.
