About this Quote
This quote from David Selby recommends that the film adaptation of a tv program was not based on the show itself. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the desire to create something new and various, or to avoid comparisons to the initial show. It might likewise be since the developers wished to avoid any possible backlash from fans of the program who might not have liked the motion picture. Whatever the reason, it is clear that the film was not planned to be a direct adaptation of the tv show, and that the developers wanted to develop something distinct and different from the show. This quote highlights the importance of creating something new and various, and the potential risks of trying to recreate something that already exists.
