Ten Thousand Saints is a feature film adaptation of Eleanor Henderson’s 2011 debut novel, which is set in the 1980s New York City hardcore scene. Directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, the film stars Asa Butterfield, Ethan Hawke, and Hailee Steinfeld.

"I like movies a lot and I like novels a lot, and I like the sort of space that they inhabit when they overlap." Eleanor Henderson, an assistant professor of writing at Ithaca College, speaks about the film adaptation of her novel Ten Thousand Saints (Ecco, 2011). Henderson is featured in "Going Hollywood: The Business of Film Adaptations" by Michael Bourne in the new issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

Ten Thousand Saints, the debut novel by Eleanor Henderson, whose article about Charles McLeod's first book appears in the current issue, will be published by Ecco in June.
