Hi,
I was reading a fictional novel and in the story, the protagonist finds a news article under his mattress. The story that was in that news article seems like a great idea for a short film.
I'm just wondering if I can use that story without special permission. I'm assuming the news article is fictional as well because I couldn't find anything with google searches, though the novel is European and not recent.
That article is a very very small part of the entire book and the the author has passed away. Is it possible for me to use the story? What if I change it slightly?
Thanks
