I know Charis posted it too, but for those of you who've missed it: Worrying developments in Fantasy Movie-Land. The movie industry, having gobbled down Shakespeare and Jane Austen (Shakespeare in Love and Becoming Jane respectively) now wants to gobble down poor old Tolkien and Lewis. And they've only been dead forty or so years!

Oh dear.

Well, I hope they do a damn fine job of it.

Of course, nothing might happen for a while - they've bought the story, yes, but they might sit on it for a bit and do nothing with it.

(The actual book itself sounds quite interesting, though.)

I'm hoping they do sit it out, but to me it sounds like they're pushing the production into gear :-(.

I'm having Decidedly Conflicted Emotions about this. Either it'll be done well, like you say, and I might even love it. Or it'll be horrible (for more likely in my opinion).

Wah.
