In an interview with Digital Trends, novelist Sarah Dessen and director Sofia Alvarez discuss adapting Netflix's AlongfortheRide.
Love stories never go out of style, particularly those with performances by two engaging leads, gorgeous cinematography, and an evocative soundtrack that takes viewers of all ages back to a summer where love was lost and found .
Sofia Alvarez: I read Sarah’s book when they were looking for a writer to adapt it. Immediately when I was reading it, I felt like I could just see the movie version of it. I grew up loving those summertime teen movies where you can smell the sunscreen on the big screen. And in reading this book, I just saw the potential for this to be one of those movies. There were parts of it that I could relate to like Auden’s family. I thought that it would be a fun project to take on.
Now that the book has been adapted into a film, is there any chance of a sequel following Auden and Eli?
