Wednesday, August 18, 2004 So I'm working on my Bookslut column for next month, and it's going pretty well. But because I am feeble-minded and prone to overlooking things, I pose a general question to the populace: What forthcoming book-to-film adaptations are you NOT looking forward to? What beloved work of fiction do you fear will be ruined in translation? They could be announced projects, projects in development, or projects coming out next week. Your hate will not turn the tide, of course, but one voice of protest can work wonders. Tell me in the comments or email me. If I use your suggestion, I'll definitely give you credit. (A note, though: anyone who tries to argue Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the basis of Mos Def being cast as Ford Prefect will not have much luck. Remember, Adams never SAID Ford was white. He just said he was cool. And Mos Def is too cool for school.) (And a note to myself: All Families Are Psychotic? WTF?) | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
