Synopsis

Struggling screenwriter/office temp Mitchell Draper thinks all his problems are solved when a Hollywood movie producer hires him to write the script for a Mafia Princess-style crime film. Then mysterious stalkers and threatening phone calls begin to transform Mitchell's world into a real-life version of a movie thriller.

Sharing Mitchell's big-time ambitions are his best friends Ingrid (painter/coffeehouse manager) and Ramir (actor/health food store clerk) - both on the verge of seeing their dreams come true…in the last way they expected.

Blending elements of screenwriting into a quirky postmodern diary, Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture is the most charming comedy thriller you'll ever discover.

Reviews

"One of the best fun reads of all time."
— Actress Anne Bancroft

"It is such a relief to read a book like Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture." — The Toronto Star

"One of the funniest and most shamelessly entertaining novels around." — NOW

"Fast-paced and funny — a thoroughly good read."
— XTRA Toronto

"Delightfully droll, up-tempo first novel... reminiscent of an intricate Joe Keenan farce. Inventively plotted and stocked with appealing characters, Dunford's debut should win him plenty of readers on the American side of the border."
— Publishers Weekly

"Enjoyable and compelling...a sort of urban fairy tale undercut by an obligatory dose of knowing irony."
— The Globe and Mail
