Control is a 1982 novel by William Goldman.[1][2][3][4]
The book was a runner up on The New York Times best seller list.[5]
Although Goldman was a noted screenwriter and many of his novels had been adapted into films there was no interest in adapting Control. Goldman later wrote the novel "was such a neat idea for a movie. I felt sure that somebody would want to make it. It was about trying to control the future by controlling the past. There was never a phone call about Control."[6]
