I've been waiting for this movie since I read the original short story. It looks amazing, but I'm not sure if a whole movie could come from just this 5 page short story.

I'm sort of wondering how well this will translate into a full motion picture. It's a pretty simplistic story.

Simple is much better than convoluted, which seems to be par for the course with movies these days.

And cool, I'm glad they're making a movie out of this. I like that story.

Speaking of which, did they ever make fahrenheit 451 into a movie?

It's simple in that the main events of the short story could barely span 30 minutes.

A while back. It didn't do well, but I enjoyed it. It's an old *** movie.

Wikipedia suggests it's a short film and won't be longer than 30 minutes.

The made-for-TV version of Harrison Bergeron was pretty nifty. It's floating around google video somewhere.

I wish they would do a decent movie for "A wrinkle in time". Religious innuendo aside, I really enjoyed that book.
