Janet King asked Tracy Chevalier:

I too am saddened by this new film about Mary Anning, your story was so much more relatable. As Remarkable Creatures would make a much more interesting film or TV series. What a waste! Do you think it saved the film company the rights for your book?

Tracy Chevalier We're still looking into how Remarkable Creatures could be made into a series or a film. It takes some time to get these things off the ground, and putting some distance between Ammonite and Remarkable Creatures is no bad thing. Also it would focus on the science and the remarkable discoveries she made. The great thing is that with all this attention Mary Anning is becoming so much better known and respected. That can only be a good thing, right?
