Media in the Movies: Will Shortz Doc Wordplay Sold to IFC for Approx. $1 Million
Congratulations Will Shortz — puzzle master, brain-breaker, Soduku author and now movie star! The documentary Wordplay, by director Patrick Creadon about NYT crossword aficionados features puzzle editor Shortz (NPR’s “The Puzzle Master,” which sounds vaguely hot) and covers the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, with sprinklings of crossword minutiae and $1 million worth of fun for the whole family, which is how much IFC paid for it (after a fierce bidding war!).
Personally, I prefer Boggle. I would totally go see the Boggle movie.
