I read the first script that Paul Haggis wrote and I must say is by far the closest script to the book. I’ve had the opportunity to read the other rewrites and not only these rewrites are so far from Mr. Baker’s original story, it has lost the beauty of it.

I keep reading about people doing rewrites to Honeymoon with Harry but no one has called Mr. Baker. Who else knows the core of the story as well as the original writer? Mr. Baker is a screen writer as well; why not give him the opportunity for the rewrites.

Okay, I’ll give you an example why I think Mr. Baker should be called. I have a few kids and I could call different nannies to take care of my kids, and though I am sure they will do a great job, no one has the ability to take care of my children like I do.

Same with this novel, I am sure it took Mr. Baker awhile to give birth to his story, so it’s close to his heart, for that reason alone I think he is the perfect candidate for the rewrites.

The studio should take into consideration that this story is not Haggis, Demme’s, Lumet or any other person who has done or will do any rewrites; this story is Mr. Baker’s.

So these other screen writers wrote a romantic screenplay that became a mediocre made movie, does that mean they are the right fit for a rewrite? I also know that Hollywood is not about who is right for a rewrite, is who they know, is all about keeping friends working not what is good for the project.

No, I do not know Mr. Baker personally; I’m just tired of Hollywood destroying good story lines.

Demme, go back to the root, the source of the story then you will have a great script.

I hope that Demme and Lumet don\’t try to put their own spin on what already is a great story. There\’s nothing more aggravating than having people change a book that\’s already terrific. If you read the book, you can literally see a movie in your head. My fear with all good books is if they change too much, people are going to angry the movie doesn\’t follow the book more closely. The book is that good. It\’s hilariously funny and equally gut wrenching and emotional. Truly one of the best, most emotionally satisfying reads I\’ve ever had. Maybe Mr. Baker has published since I read the manuscript a few years ago. Check Amazon or Barnes and Noble.com andt be prepared to belly laugh but also have a box of tissues handy.

Yes, Rosemarie DeWitt doesn\’t get her due, and she deserved an Oscar nomination alongside Hathaway for that wonderful film ( also Bill Irwin deserved a nomination) . The acting, directing, and the unforgettable music will make this film timeless.
