Julie Powell Leads Bloggers To The Silver Screen
Magazines get a lot of play, too, as magazine offices were considered quite glamorous pre-recession. Just look at The Devil Wears Prada, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days or Confessions of a Shopaholic, to point to a few recent favs. As journalism evolves, the journalism-related movies will evolve as well. Just look at Julie & Julia, a movie based on a book that evolved out of a blog. The movie, which opens today, is based on a book of the same name written by Julie Powell, who started a blog to track her year-long quest to cook every recipe in Julia Child's quintessential cook book, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." Back in December 2006, Powell spoke on a mediabistro.com panel about turning blogs into books. "I got really, really lucky," Powell said about her book deal. "I found blogging was a really freeing medium for me," she went on, "because of the feedback, because of the fact that I didn't have to worry about -- for me, endings are really difficult for me, and with blogs I didn't have to worry about that." You can check out the whole panel, or just watch a little preview featuring Powell, here. "Julie & Julia" is getting some good and some mixed reviews. Will you be going to see it this weekend? What are some of your favorite journalism-related movies? Email This Post |
