OtherLife, the film Kelley wrote based on her novel, Solitaire, has moved from Netflix and is now available on Prime Video.
Turning a long, speculative “stylistic and psychological tour de force” (New York Times) novel into just over 90 minutes of sleek, luscious-looking sci-fi thriller, all on a low budget, was a rollercoaster ride: sometimes wildly exciting, sometimes grindingly hard, but never, ever boring. But that’s Kelley’s story to tell and happily she’s done that in a fascinating series of journal entries about the 11-year journey from book to screen. You’ll find it an eye-opening read. It was not always a smooth ride and the only reason that f illm ever got made was through the sheer force of Kelley’s will. I’ve never been more proud of her—and I’m proud of her a lot.

Now I need to read Solitaire, never heard of it before! Intriguing!
Thanks for sharing this! Congrats, Kelley! This looks amazing!
I can’t help thinking, watching this, what an amazing suspense mystery in the movie or mini-series format Slow River would be. (heart) I can just see the flashes of Lore’s past mingling with her present in this particular style. (more heart)
