I finally watched the new Fantasy Island movie last night. I actually like it! A lot! But my readers were right!!!! There were more than a few similarities to my Mr. Rook series.
The show did inspire my dark suspense, but it was REALLY weird seeing Mr. Rook’s house! Exactly as I described it in my book.
Then there’s the fountain/water underground at the heart of the island? The spirit stalking the guests. The fountain of youth aspect for Roarke’s wife.
I can’t say for sure the screen writer read my book, but there’s enough there to make me feel flattered. Is it possible that Rook inspired their remake of my favorite childhood TV show?
We’ll never know…
Love,
Mimi
I’ve never read this book, but now I’m intrigued.
Hope you like it!
I finally watched Fantasy Island and as soon as the name plate Mr. Rourke moves on the screen I was like “wait a minute….. I have read this” ❤
