Andrew Klavan Website

Hello, Reader.
Welcome to my website. I’m honored that you’re here when you probably should be doing something productive—like work. But since you’re messing around on the internet instead, I’m going to try to make this place as fascinating as I can. There’s a Reading Room, where you can get a taste of recent and upcoming books, as well as sample my latest op-eds and essays. There’s a rundown of my novels and films, which allows you to link over to Amazon and buy them if you’d like. There’s news and even a blog, which I’ll update as often as I can. And there are other features as well. Please wander around, sign up for email updates—and drop me a line to let me know how you like the work and the site.
Thanks. AK

"One Missed Call" Has One Good Weekend
Jan 7, 2008

The weekend opening of Warner Bros' new film "One Missed Call," "outpaced all expectations," according to the Hollywood trade paper Variety. Taking in an estimated 13.5 million dollars at 2,240 theaters, the film's 6-thousand plus per screen average beat that of every other picture but the surging indie "Juno." The Japanese horror remake, scripted by Andrew, "hit the sweet spot among younger females, the target demo for PG-13 horror titles," Variety said. This despite what Andrew himself called "brutally bad" reviews. Andrew responded to the film's reception with typical wry humor. "Clearly, if newspapers were written by 13-year-old girls, the reviews would've been sensational," he said. "Plus, the world would be a better place all around."
