Author Emily Henry discusses the adaptation of her book, 'People We Meet On Vacation,' sharing why the added scenes are her favorite part and how they expanded the story in a way that felt true to the characters.
Transcript
00:00My favorite things about the movie really are the added scenes because the readers will always have the book and
00:06I will always have the book.
00:07It's so special that there's this extra stuff that is so true to the characters that the readers will now
00:14also have.
00:15It expanded the story and that's really exciting to me.
00:18But one little specific thing that I love is I love where the movie took the character of Sarah.
00:26It was like another thing that wasn't necessarily essential.
00:30It would have felt a little weird to not bookmark or bookend her story a little bit just because she's
00:35this like ever-present voice in the background that you're not really, you know, getting much character from until she's
00:42on screen.
00:43But I love that so much and I thought it was a really lovely, sweet touch that felt true to
00:50the heart of the story.
00:51I don't know.
00:51It just felt like it belonged in the book to me.
00:54Like it felt like this is, it has, I think we just had the same sensibilities.
00:58I think we both really want to believe the best in people and we both don't want to see people
01:02as villains and we both want everyone to, I don't know, like, to get along.
01:09And like we're just, we're both very earnest people and it was really special to see that Sarah has like
01:13a rough hang for this movie, but she gets something that I think is really good and sweet.
