Excellent Dave, Cheers .
Its one of my favourite books.
Shadow is a brilliant character and should work quite well on screen.
Also wonder how Mr Nancy will be done with the sequel in mind

No idea what you're on about...glad your happy.

It really is a great (if somewhat large) book. Thanks for the heads-up, Dave.

 

[Willem]

Yup, good book, hope it's filmable

 

[Bickaxe]

Only read it once but from what I remember I don't think it would work on screen. I can't say it was a brilliant read either. Prefer others that he's written

Some more news from the producers, Tom Hanks company, PlayTone. Looks like it's a series not a film.

The article contains news of Hanks company's upcoming projects and is listed near the top.

That's excellent news. A TV series (if done well) would be even better as it woul do justice to the size of the original book.

 

[Dotsie]

Agreed. Hope it doesn't take too long to get over here.

Unfortunately I'm afraid it'll never get over here

I was gonna say, it would make a better TV miniseries than a movie. But it would probably have to be one of those mature HBO-style ones, a bit like Rome.
