Interesting. I hadn't heard about the Alice Sebold adaptation before.

 

[LightPhoenix]

Honestly? Meh. I would LOVE to see PJ do a movie that isn't an adaptation. Guess that ain't happening any time soon.

 

[Zulithe]

LightPhoenix, he's done several (pre-LotR). Most notably, Heavenly Creatures and The Frighteners

 

[Aaron L]

Dead Alive!

 

[Ambrus]

Any idea when he might be tackling the Hobbit?

When the studios that have the rights to it work out a deal. Thats why its taking so long.

Let's hope Ian McKellen is both available and still alive when it happens...

 

[Viking Bastard]

LightPhoenix, he's done several (pre-LotR). Most notably, Heavenly Creatures and The Frighteners

Which is probably why he's so anxious to see something out if PJ's own head.

Because he's so good at it.

 

[Pielorinho]

LightPhoenix, he's done several (pre-LotR). Most notably, Heavenly Creatures and The Frighteners

Does Meet the Feebles count as an adaptation?
