'In an interview, producer Emile Sherman and script writer Louise Fox talked about the process of adapting Dead Europe to the big screen. Sherman shared that novels are very different from films, and often very good novels–literary novels–don't make good films because films essentially need story. However, in the case of Dead Europe, he felt like it was making a really quite bold statement about how the past is so pressed against the present, and what lies beneath the surface of contemporary Europe, and on the fringes of contemporary Europe. He thought that finding something that is a little bit extraordinary is the key.' (Publication summary)
