Jodi Picoult in TV Guide: `The Tenth Circle’ Debuts as a Lifetime Original Movie

by

the_tenth_circle_cover.jpgAuthor Jodi Picoult is featured in the new issue of TV Guide magazine (for the week of June 23 - June 29, 2008) in “Cameo,” on page 36.

The writer of many great novels talks to TV Guide about her books being turned into movies, specifically The Tenth Circle (2006) which debuts on Lifetime Network on Saturday, June 29, at 9 p.m. EST.

The Tenth Circle approaches the topic of teen date rape from an usual perspective - the father of the girl. In the article, Picoult talks about research she did for the story, letters she continuously receives (and saves) from date rape survivors, and her worry over giving her “baby” over to the film gods.

“I shouldn’t have worried,” Picoult told TV Guide. “The Tenth Circle is the best adaptation of my writing I’ve seen to date.”

Lifetime has previously produced movies based on Picoult’s novels The Pact (1998; film version 2002) and Plain Truth (2000; film version 2004). My Sister’s Keeper (2004) is in works for a feature film, due to hit theaters this year. The Tenth Circle stars Ron Eldard as dad Daniel, Kelly Preston as the mom, and Britt Robertson as victim/survivor Trixie.
