TO ZACH AND ROBERT
a wimp is born
Greg Hef f ley was created in January 1998 in a
small apartment in Massachusetts. There wasnt much to him, really. He was just a little pencil
doodle in a cheap sketch pad. One month later, Zachary Gordon
was born on the other side of the country, in California. At
that moment, Greg and Zach didnt really have a whole lot
in common. But eleven years later, the two
would come together when Zach was chosen to play the part of
Greg in the live-action Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie.

This book is the story of how a little idea got
turned into a major motion picture, and how a fictional cartoon character became a real boy.

a rough start
Greg Hef f ley didnt spring to life fully formed.
Like any kid, Greg had to change and grow before he was ready to go out into the world on
his own. In fact, it took a really long time for Greg
to develop into the character that he is today. Which is kind of strange, considering hes basically
a stick figure. As you can see, Greg started off a little rough,
but he evolved over time.
HEY!
While Greg was going through major changes in the
looks department, his stories were coming together.

All the ideas for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
were written down in the same sketch pad where Greg first appeared. Each of the pages at the beginning of the
sketch pad took a few hours to fill out. Over time, more and more ideas were crammed onto
each page. The last few took several MONTHS to complete. It took four years to fill up the sketch pad and
create all the scenes and characters in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid universe. Right about the time
the last idea was written down, Zach Gordon was celebrating his fourth birthday.

The pages of the sketch pad were photocopied,
and each joke was cut out and stuck onto giant sheets of poster board. It took a few MORE
years to put all the little pieces of paper in order and type them up in a single story. The end result was a giant 1,300-page book that
was first published online. More than 90% of the material written in the sketch pad didnt make the
final cut. A year later, an editor in New York decided to
publish Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And thats how Greg Hef f ley made the leap from a sketch pad to
a printed book.

A few months later, Zach Gordon, now working as
an actor in television and film, read the book and told his mom he hoped someone would make it into a
movie. And if they did, he told her, he wanted to play the part of Greg Hef f ley.

MAKING IT REAL
Zach wasnt the only one thinking about making Diary of a Wimpy Kid into a movie. It turns out a few people in Hollywood were thinking the
same thing. But everyone had a different idea of what the
film version should be.
GREG IS A
DRAWING, BUT
EVERYONE
ELSE IS REAL!
GREG IS PLAYED
BY AN ADULT,
AND EVERYONE
ELSE IS A KID!
GREG AND
ROWLEY SAVE
THEIR SCHOOL
FROM ALIENS!
ONE WORD:
PUPPETS!
A lot of people wanted to make big changes to
the story and the characters.

But finally, one movie studio came up with an idea that worked. The idea of a live-action version of Diary of a
Wimpy Kid raised some questions. How would fans of the book feel about Greg being played by a real
actor? And would he look the way they thought he should? But there were even more important
things to consider before moving forward.

HOW ABOUT IF
WE MAKE THE
MOVIE JUST
LIKE THE BOOK?
THATS
BRILLIANT!

THE PREMIERE?
SURE!
THEN
LETS
DO IT!
GOING HOLLYWOOD
The studio executives and producers are the people
responsible for getting the movie made. One of the first things they do is bring in writers to
pitch their ideas for what should happen in the movie. Once the studio and producers hear a pitch they
like, they hire the writers to start working on the screenplay.

A screenplay describes everything that
happens in the film, from the action to the dialogue. Heres how the opening scene of the Diary of a
Wimpy Kid movie looks in the script
