As I’m typing “In Cold Blood” I’m thinking the movie was just as much about Capote as about the killers, completely spacing out that there have been two movies **specifically** about Capote! ---

> [@Gray\_Ghost](#): > > Does 2001 count, given the novel was written at the same time as the movie? I think all answers “count”, but the book you’re thinking about is a novelization of the movie and not the original source material, which was a short story by Clarke called _The Sentinel_. ---
