KathyL asked Tracy Chevalier:

I’ve only just realised from a trailer how very different Ammonite is from Remarkable Creatures. I was wondering how I could possibly have forgotten/misread your novel 😳 but thank goodness that isn’t the case. Ioved your book and was truly looking forward to seeing how it as a film. Now I understand why this film isn’t called RC! I’d still love to see RC on screen. Mini-series sounds great! Netflix pitch?

Tracy Chevalier Hi Kathy
Yes, Ammonite is a different story from Remarkable Creatures. My book focusses much more on what Mary accomplishes scientifically, and also explores the power of friendship - a friendship that did exist, we know Mary and Elizabeth were friends, we have the letters. Ammonite is much more speculative. It will be harder to make a mini-series out of RC since Ammonite exists, but we're working on it!
