The movie "Midnight Run" was based on what book?!
Question:
The movie "Midnight Run" was based on what book?
I read somewhere that the movie was based on a book or the book was based on the movie - I can't quite remember which way and which book. Can anyone help? I think it was based on the Janet Evanovich number-series with Stephanie Plum, but I can't find the info. Please help!
Answers:
I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but it doesn't appear that any of Evanovich's books were ever made into MIDNIGHT RUN. Actually it looks like MIDNIGHT RUN inspired the Stephanie Plum character:
"How did Stephanie Plum come into being?
If Mickey Spillane wrote Archie and Veronica, Stephanie would be Betty. I got the idea for a bounty hunter while watching Midnight Run with Grodin and DeNiro. I created the Stephanie character from my experience as a romance writer, relying heavily on the Original Heroine of the Regency--and I gave her some of my history."
