Hollywood Movie Script Coverage for “Miss Manhattan” by Biman Roy has been released for the book’s qualification for a Hollywood movie adaptation
ARP’s Movie Script Coverage service aims to provide a written outline of the author’s book—a screenplay—that will be stored in a database that major studios can consult when seeking stories to adapt into films. Recently, a Hollywood-style script was written for Biman Roy’s “Miss Manhattan,” which has the potential to make a good film, depending on how it is adapted and presented on screen. This collection presents vivid imagery and deep symbolism that can be accurately interpreted in a visual medium.
The screenplay is the common ground on which producers, directors, actors, and production teams working on the movie will collaborate from start to finish and serves as a roadmap for them in terms of what will be seen on the big screen. The production of the Movie Script coverage is to prepare for the screenplay to be produced.
This masterpiece is commended by Jonah Meyer of the US Review of Books, who underscores that “…like the painting of an accomplished Expressionist, the poet’s words, images, vignettes, and nuanced creative expression are employed in service to a literary celebration of the great northeastern American city.”
Author Biman Roy is a psychiatrist by profession and works as a consultant at a New York hospital. He lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey. He has been writing poetry for the past three decades and has been widely published.
His work has received nominations for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Biman Roy is the author of one chapbook of prose poems, Of Moon and Washing Machine, and two other poetry chapbooks, Dinosaur Hour and Navigating the Quartz Forest.
“Miss Manhattan” is a fantastic anthology of poems about New York City from the perspective of an observer moving through the city, noticing things about its residents, culture, buildings, and general atmosphere. They talk about what is fascinating about the city and tap into its history, society, and geographical layout to tell a story.
This work captures the richness of diversity as well as the simultaneity of life in New York. The text is rich, tumbling, and layered but never chaotic, as the speaker’s (and reader’s) attention is drawn to people, cars, birds, flowers, and all aspects of city life. This one-of-a-kind collection ingeniously depicts the natural resonance of city life in a beautiful, cheerful, and occasionally chaotic manner, but always with a sense of life and creative energy rather than destruction or entropy. Even as they represent an external and collective experience, these poems exist in the individual body.
Turning a collection of poems into a coherent film is fascinating, as poetry and cinema are different art forms requiring different techniques and approaches. Poetry is cryptic, open to interpretation, and often lacks narrative elements such as flow and dialogue. Hence, its visual interpretation and cinematic adaptation rely heavily on imagery and translating symbolic language to screen. If done well, it can powerfully and effectively convey the themes and emotions present in the poem.
