Author Robert M Edsel says he knew that "The Monuments Men" will be adapted into a film even before he started writing the book. "A film was on my mind before I started writing the book.

I had already started thinking how the story of ‘The Monuments Men' was a great teaching story, a great instrument to help recover the works of art that are still missing," Edsel said in a statement.

"But no matter how good a book is, nothing reaches a worldwide audience the way a feature film can. And great films are stories based on people. That is the path to connect with audiences around the world. So I needed to tell the people story," he added.

The preparations that went into the making of 2014 film will be showcased in the upcoming film festival "True Stories", which will be aired on Star Movies Select HD starting from April 3.
