Richard Matheson's thoughts?


This has probably been asked before I'm sure, but I've literally just finished the film and was curious: Anyone know how Richard Matheson felt about the film? I only really know him from his work in horror, so was just curious if he was a fan of this particular adaptation of his work.

"I will not comment on What Dreams May Come except to say that a major producer in Hollywood said to me, "They should have shot your book." Amen. I must add that the producer, Stephen Simon, tried to get my script filmed for many years so I can't fault him for finally having to go the route he did in order to get the film made."

I had no idea that this was Richard Matheson the guy who wrote I am Legend.
