    What new movies of books are you looking forward to? Which ones are you definitely not planning on seeing?

    I’ll start. I’m excited about City of Ember coming this October. I’m planning on missing Journey to the Center of the Earth, it looks way too changed. *mutters something about Walden claiming to make good representations of books*

    I read a book a long time ago in a series about a girl named Mandie; somebody’s making a movie about that. It might be OK, I didn’t like the book.

    Ooh, I am SO gonna see Redwall and The Hobbit, if I haveta drive there meself (squealing of car tires and a few crashes)! Not seeing Capsian was bad enough!

    Oh, I forgot about Redwall! Although that’s not for three more years, so I think I can be forgiven. :)

    THAT I would agree with. Walden Media has been disappointing lately…why don’t they just change the title and drop all pretence of it being an adaption, when it isn’t?

    I’m looking forward to City of Ember, Alice in Wonderland, The Hobbit (if they EVER get all the legal rubbish sorted out…it’s been off and on so many times now that I’ve lost track) and of course Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Oh, and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell–really interested in seeing how they adapt that one.

    Actually, I read a review of Journey yesterday, and it seems to be less altered than I had originally thought. It’s still not anything I’m looking forward to, but it sounds a little more worth it now.

    Anybody know if the book Tunnels is being made in to a movie here? or just in England?

    I’m reading the book know… creepy. It would make a good movie.

    I’m so fed up with end times movies! A year or two ago, I’d heard tell of some aethiest who’d watched an end times movie and the special effects and the acting were so poor, they just strengthened his indignation against us.

    Because of Winn~Dixie is a very good adaption; I’m watching two adaptions tonight: Love Comes Softly and George and the Dragon. Here’s hopin’…

    I loved the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth! It’s not even the plot of the book, which is nice, so you don’t really have to think about the book’s plot compared to the movie’s plot. I recommend all of Walden Media’s films.

    I thought the 3D was amazing! I’ve never actually read the book though.

    I also really recommend the book, but a warning: it is not the same as the movie. I mean, of course it isn’t, but the book is still really different from the movie.

    Yeah, I doubt they’re reading the book inside the book. That would be kind of weird. And the book isn’t modern day is it?

    It looks like it’s coming out July 2011. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

    I have some adaptions that I am really excited about:

    1.) The Screwtape Letters (2010)

    2.) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (December of 2011)

    3.) I don’t know if this counts, but it’s a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth (the movie). Here is the plot:

    The sequel will be based on Richard Outten’s script “Mysterious Travels: The Lost Map of Treasure Island,” in which Prof. Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser) and his nephew (Josh Hutcherson) embark on a journey to a mysterious island that was the subject of three classic novels (Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Island,” Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” and Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”).

    So, yep, those are some I’m looking forward to…
