    Book Behind the Film "OtherLife" (2017)

    About the Book

    The film "OtherLife" is based on the novel Solitaire by Kelley Eskridge. The book was first published in 2002 and is a science fiction novel that explores themes of identity, isolation, and the nature of reality.

    Author: Kelley Eskridge

    Kelley Eskridge is an American author known for her work in speculative fiction. Her writing often delves into complex themes and character-driven narratives. Solitaire is one of her most acclaimed works, praised for its psychological depth and innovative storytelling.

    Film Adaptation

    The film "OtherLife" takes inspiration from Solitaire, but it diverges significantly from the source material. While the book focuses on the protagonist's internal journey and the psychological aspects of her experience, the film adapts these themes into a more visually driven narrative suitable for the screen. The core concept of exploring alternate realities remains, but the plot and character dynamics have been altered to fit the cinematic format.

    Key Differences

      • Plot: The film introduces new plot elements and characters that are not present in the book.

      • Setting: The setting and technological aspects are adapted to create a more visually engaging experience.

      • Character Development: The film focuses more on action and visual storytelling, while the book delves deeper into the protagonist's psychological state.

    Production

    Shooting started in Perth in June 2015 and lasted for five weeks. Director Ben C. Lucas was introduced to writer Kelley Eskridge's script before reading the novel. He said the script was originally written with a larger budget in mind; Lucas rewrote it to be smaller and more obviously Australian.
