IF THE reaction to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society in the United States is anything to go by, a Fox movie based on the book is a guaranteed box office hit.

GUERNSEY is the only location under consideration for a potential blockbuster movie based on a best-selling book, Hollywood producer Paula Mazur said last night.

‘GUERNSEY’ is set to be a box office hit in 2013.

One of the more unexpected success stories coming from this island has been the runaway reaction to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. From total obscurity, it is poised to become a Hollywood movie.

THE first Guernsey Literary Festival began yesterday as the daughter of the woman who started to write The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society sounded the noonday gun.

GUERNSEY needs to work harder to ensure a blockbuster film based in the island is shot here, according to Guernsey Arts Commission commissioner Eric Snell.

THE Potato Peel Pie may been immortalised by a best-selling book, but now the search is on for the perfect recipe for the dish.
