Q: What was the process getting On Stranger Tides optioned for film?  A: It’s always sort of baffling to somebody who just writes novels because as a novelist, your big goal is to get the thing published and in bookstores. On the horizon, you’re aware that there’s people in L.A. who buy books and make movies out of them … I believe in 2006 or 2007, my agent called me up and said, ‘Disney wants to option one of your books.’ Of course, Disney is very likely to actually make a movie.  He told me what they want is On Stranger Tides and at that point, there had only been the one Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He told me what they wanted it for was if they make a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I thought, ‘Well, that’d be great but so far they’ve only had one. I hope they do two and three and then four.’ An option is just when somebody gives you some money and says, ‘We’re not buying this, we’re just getting dibs on it. What we’re paying you for is not the book, we’re just buying the right to buy the book one day maybe.’ Basically, you just can’t sell it to anybody else.
