The Words (2012)
Directed by Brian Klugman
The Words follows young writer Rory Jansen who finally achieves long sought after literary success after publishing the next great American novel. There's only one catch - he didn't write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man's work, and for placing ambition and success above life's most fundamental three words.

What critics compared The Words to
There's a distinctly "Sparks-ian" feel to the movie, and its awkward framing device recalls the one from The Notebook .
No doubt the fiction we witness could be a best-seller along the lines of The Notebook or Dear John , but a landmark prize-winner?
The film also looks very good; cinematographer Antonio Calvache, who previously worked with Todd Field on In the Bedroom (2003) and Little Children (2006), gives the images an edge and depth that heighten the material.
(Antonio Calvache of "Little Children" and "In the Bedroom" is the cinematographer.)
