[A film adaptation of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is] being developed now. I have reasonably high hopes, because the screenplay is being written by Tim Minear, who wrote scripts for Buffy, Firefly, Wonderfalls, and other great shows..

Cite? I couldn’t find that in the IMDb.

If it’s true, well! That would be very timely! :slight_smile:

Between the Blade trilogy, the Underworld movies and the assorted Draculi films, the vampire genre has been done to death.

Maybe, but Dracula has never been done once in a way that is true to the book. And that is one scary book. (Have you read it?) There is plenty of material there for a trilogy.

I’m still pissed about Coppola’s version. Turned the whole thing into a loud, over-the-top action movie, and turned Van Helsing into a screaming lunatic (as opposed to the steely, determined sage of the book).

I’ll second the Foundation trilogy.

Stephen King’s Dark Tower series might be interesting.

Well, I found a cite, but it dates from 2004. This one dates from 2005. Any more recent news?

Speaking of which . . .

Both might be interesting. Well Dark Tower would be. I always found the Foundation series dull.

Only problem is that I cringe when I think of what happens to King when his work hits the big or little screen.

So was Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, but they made a movie out of it. All right, kinda out of it . . . :wink:

Unfortunately, not much. Here’s an excerpt from an interview with Tim Minear from July 2006:

I guess it’s in pre-production hell. A lot of movies die there, so it’s far from a sure thing to be produced. But we can hope. At least there’s a finished script.
