Film of duma key

[constantreader85]

I don't know if anybody has wrote this already, but are they making a film of duma key. if so, who do you think should be in it?

I hope not. I really really hate when they make movies out of books. In most cases, the movie is not even close to being as good (in a lot of cases they are downright BAD) and I think would turn people off to the written story. KWIM?

But then I'm a reader. I know a lot of people who haven't picked a book up since high school and wouldn't have any clue about the story were it not for the movie. My husband being one of those. I just don't understand that.

I join your boat.

I would put Dustin Hoffman as Edgar, Diane Keaton as Pam, and Jeff Bridges as Wireman. I just think that if done with any passion, a "Duma Key" film would be a great thing to watch.

It's always interesting notion, but there's also a risk - especially in book in which a large part of the story takes place int he past or in the character head - which it does in this case.

But I don't mind the risk actually - in the worst case I'll still have the book to love.

I think they should make it into a movie. If it turns out bad, so what! Not all movies are good, does it mean people should stop making movies? If you've read the book, no one can take that away from you. Have a nice day.

my husband also is not a reader, while i spend most of my time reading for fun. he actually picked up and read front to back Christine after seeing the movie and coming across the book at the local flea market, i was astonished and a little horrified when i couldn't get him to go to sleep because HIS face was jammed into that book...it is usually the other way around, kind of unsettling lol
