Temeraire Optioned By Peter Jackson

I just started the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik; I just passed into the second part of the first book and I'm loving it. The worldbuilding, the characterization, the bond between Captain Laurance and Temeraire.. it's all great.

Went to her website this morning and see fresh news: the books have been optioned by Peter Jackson.

" 'Temeraire' is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love -- fantasy and historical epic," Jackson said. "I can't wait to see Napoleonic battles fought with a squadron of dragons. That's what I go to the movies for."

Me, too, Peter :)

"As I was reading these books, I could see them coming to life in my mind's eye," Jackson said. "These are beautifully written novels, not only fresh, original and fast-paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart."

Hopefully this comes about. Just with the little I've seen so far, I'd love to see these books brought to life.
