Bob Bookman is a Hollywood manager and producer who has worked with some of the biggest authors in the world and helped turn their novels into award-winning movies. He has represented Michael Crichton, Tom Stoppard, Bill Broyles, John Irving, Jojo Moyes, David Nicholls and Peter Moffat along with many others and has been responsible for bringing movies such as Jurassic Park, Hannibal and A Complete Unknown to the big screen.

We loved having Bob back on the podcast (check out his first episode chatting about his career here or listen here) and getting an update on what he has been doing, and how the Hollywood landscape has changed since we last spoke. We hear about changing trends, talk about the success of movies like Obsession, and much more!
