Prancer is a movie that’s fast becoming a holiday classic, one that families look forward to watching around Christmas time every year. But we saw him at the premiere, where I, for one, felt like a starstruck geek! Five years and many screenwriters later, the movie was in the theaters.īecause Jim and I were long gone from the project before the movie was made, we never met Robin Williams. The various drafts of that script, which I wrote with Jim Strain, a friend of mine, took about six months, all told. Hopefully that won’t get me into any trouble. I promise to answer your questions as truthfully as possible. Greg Taylor: First off, a return thanks to you, Douglas, for inviting me to do this interview. First, how long did it take you to write the screenplay for Jumanji, and did you get the chance to meet Robin Williams? If so, what was he like? Is he as funny in person as he is on television and in the movies?

Cobb: Greg, thanks for doing this interview with me! I’m anxious to ask you questions about your latest book in the Killer Pizza series, Killer Pizza: The Slice, but before I do, I have a few other questions to ask you. Let’s get on with the burning questions–hopefully, they won’t leave blisters on the roofs of your mouths, like hot pizza often does!ĭouglas R. Stine writes, you will be sure to love the Killer Pizza series! Greg agreed to do an interview with me, and I hardly had to twist his arm at all. It’s an action-packed, very cool book combining two things teenagers (and most people in general) can’t resist–delicious hot cheesy pizza and monsters! If you like the kind of novels R.L. The sequel to Killer Pizza, Killer Pizza: The Slice, is now available. The first novel in his Killer Pizza series, about three teens who work at a pizza restaurant which doubles as a front for a monster hunting organization, Killer Pizza, is currently being made into a movie directed by Adam Green and produced by Chris Columbus (who produced the first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Home Alone).

Greg Taylor, the screenwriter of such great movies as Jumanji, Prancer, and Harriet the Spy, also writes awesome novels.
