Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman of 40 Days of Dating recently revealed the dismal end of their relationship and Enstars caught up with the duo to talk about their plans moving forward, such as the possibility of a film based on their project.

It was announced in August that the duo signed on to the Hollywood talent agency CAA and were "fielding interest from both film and television producers looking to use their story as the basis for a movie or TV series." Their decision drew criticism, however, with people suggesting that they were selling out.

Walsh explained their reason for choosing to go the Hollywood route and also affirmed that they were committed to the integrity of the project. 

"While the website was an excellent outlet to get it out to the public, we are interested in other adaptations of the project that might help deliver the story to a wider audience," she said. "We spent very little money on this project, and had no intentions of this ever possibly leading to a film or tv deal. Therefore we have no intentions of selling out and taking an offer which might turn the story into a cheesy Hollywood rom-com."

"No matter what form the project takes (TV or movie) my main concern is that we keep the integrity of the original experiment," she added. "We are going to try our best to make sure that whatever is created keeps the honesty and authenticity of what we originally tried to do, and can hopefully touch people in the same way."

Goodman seconded Walsh's opinion and said that they are in the process of evaluating their next steps. He also didn't make any excuses about tapping into the project's potential for major commercial success. 

"It's been exciting and it's been overwhelming, and of course we are excited about these inquiries that are coming from Hollywood, how could we not be?" he said. "But we want to make sure that we stay true to ourselves, whatever form it takes, it stays true to what we've created."

Walsh and Goodman suggested that they aren't narrowing their scope by only looking at the possibility of a film adaptation, and that they are considering other forms, like television and books, as well. Discussing their predilections, Walsh suggested a book came closer to the translation of their artistic impulses. She called a book based on the project "an obvious choice and we will definitely see this through."

"We get dozens of emails and messages daily about people who are curious what happened after the experiment. A book will provide a great format to expand upon what happened during the 40 days, but also give insight into what happened after," she said.

While they are still deciding what shape the project will take, Enstars was curious about which character in a film or book they most associated with when it came to relationships and love. Walsh had a definite response: Le Petit Prince, by French writer and poet Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Goodman, on the other hand, couldn't put his finger on just one.

"I think there are a lot of things, when you think about films, it is easy to love movies like 500 days of Summer, it's easy to love movies like Annie Hall, those movies are ground breaking in a lot of ways," he said. "I like a lot of different kind of movies, I am not just talking about romantic comedies. The movies that really touch you are the ones that you can relate yourself to in those stories."
