Movie

[M2H]

I remember a while back I heard that George Romero was making a film adapation of The Girl That Loved Tom Gordon, and that it was a "go, etc." But yet there hasn't been any release, or talk of it since then. Does anyone know anything about a movie version?

I don't think George Romero currently owns the rights. There have been several false starts but it's on the back burner at the moment.

i'll wager the nadia bloom version comes out soon.

I love the book. It's actually one of my favorites. But I don't think it would make a very good movie. Most the story's conflict is internal. A movie of a little girl walking through the woods for an hour just wouldn't work.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is very capable of being a great movie, especially due to its length- the book, I mean; but there are certain psychological aspects that might be hard to make into the movie.

I think it would be possible, but knowing Hollywood, they'd butcher it in some stupid way. At the very least, a movie for this would be better then a movie for The Colorado Kid, lol.

But besides that, it was an ok book. My only problem with it is the main character: an 8 or 9 year old girl (I forget which). Though there's not much characters to choose from, I think I like her dad the most, just because of the flashback when they were talking about religion.
