Heller on The Dog Stars: box-office flop, but book sales rise

Colorado author Peter Heller says he didn’t make The Dog Stars movie and supports the filmmakers, even as Ridley Scott’s adaptation posts a box-office shortfall (about $30 million worldwide on a $110 million budget). He has seen the film seven times and believes the project has expanded readership for the book and boosted sales of his other titles, while posters and promotions highlighted the literary source.
