This is apparently going to happen, and IMDB says it will be in 2007. I wouldn't be surprised if it's much later than that. How bad are they going to fu[/b]ck this up?

In the hands a capable writer and film maker, this could be outstanding, but I have a feeling it will be a huge disappointment compared to the book.
