While I have high hopes about things like this I think it will flop.

One of my favorite books EVER.

(Books, for those under.. say.. 30... are what you might call an analog website)

Books are always difficult to do justice to in the film format, but I'll be more interested in seeing that than I will the remake of Red Dawn, that's for sure.

/agree with Vystrel... or the remake of RoboCop (again proving my theory that Hollywood is out of ideas).

It's certainly true that fewer original screenplays are having success today than say 20 years ago. I love this book series and can't wait to see it - especially to witness the look on my friends faces at the end who never read the book!!

My wife purchased the book for me but I have not read it yet...I am in the middle of a re-read of the WoT series preparing for the final book due out in Feb.

She loved it though so I am looking forward to it.

If I was you and you have never read the book I would hold off till after the movie so you will not be disappointed as badly if the movie is not that good.

Of all the Books converted to Movies only the Lord of the Rings was done OK in my opinion. Even thou they cut out certain parts. Books have characters inter dialogs that can be very important to the development of certain characters. Powerful actors can show the emotions in the oh hell somebody came in and talked to me and I forgot what I was saying

I might wait but I tell you I found that I enjoyed the Hunger Games much more than I think I would have if I did not read the books.

I found that I was filling in all the missing pieces, in my head, the movie left out and was still able to enjoy the movie.
hopefully they don't mess it up.

While I'm not quite as picky as James on the issue, I do agree that I've always found reading the book after seeing the movie left me feeling like the book expounded on the movie.

Ugh! The thought of rereading the entire WoT series is daunting! But I ought to do that. I also need to get my Nook fixed.

I love the WOT books but anything like a TV show about it would be hard. Maybe if they did it in cartoon form. maybe
