Publishing Thrills

A ‘world exclusive clip’ from Roman Polanski’s new movie, an adaptation of Robert Harris’s novel The Ghost. This scene tries to make a publishing meeting look as thrillerishly thrilling as a national security briefing or a gang of bank robbers planning one last heist. Though I suspect that outside the movies national security briefings and plots to rob banks are more like publishing meetings than the way they’re usually represented on screen.
“We have warehouses full of world publishing events waiting to be pulped..” If only those were fantasy and vampire books instead of political biographies…
