I also want to hear his views on copyright and whether it serves public policy to give authors control over their books and derivative work for their lifetime plus 70 years. And most importantly I want to hear from Scott about what he thought about the new radically different Presumed Innocent miniseries.Darren Schwartz is the What Happens Next Film Critic. I plan to ask Darren to compare the miniseries with the novel and the 1990 Harrison Ford movie.  I would also like Darren to comment on how the change in our social mores forced a change in its plot and characters.  Get full access to What Happens Next in 6 Minutes with Larry Bernstein at www.whathappensnextin6minutes.com/subscribe
