Oh Ernessa, you creepy looking girl.
Sep. 21st, 2010 04:12 pmI just found out they're making one of my favourite teen books - The Moth Diaries - into a movie, which makes me both excited and nervous. (Because, books into movies is often a terrible thing, but sometimes made of pure glory.) Lily Cole is going to be in it and I Did Not Want but now that I've seen a promo picture for it she actually looks so incredibly perfect for the character that I am so very on board.
Other movies from books I love that need to get their arse into gear and HURRY UP:
• Looking For Alaska - I love this book so much (John Green ♥ ♥) and the movie has been languishing in pre-production hell since about 2005. (Release date says 2013 at the moment but when I first heard wind of it it said 2010. So... yeah. Might never actually happen.)
• Lunar Park - my favourite Bret Eastern Ellis book and I think the movie is still a rumour, but I'm not sure. 'Bret' is maybe going to be played by Benicio Del Toro. I don't care who they cast as long as it's creepy when they finish. I read most of that book at 3am by torchlight while sitting on the floor of a boyfriend's place and I kept thinking about things crawling out from under the bed... (Huh. IMDB says 2011. I think it might be bullshitting though.)
• Hack/Slash - okay, so not a book but a graphic novel but I don't care. It's epic and I want it and I wish they would cast Cassie already and stop taunting me! (Again, 2012 is the release date listed but nothing has even happened with it.) How can the studios not want to make this right now? It's a series high on gore about a hot chick who goes after monsters! Come on, people!
There are other book-movies that I've gone "!!!!!!!" about when I found out, I'm sure, but I can't remember any other them now that I'm trying.
Bascially this post is to say "Boy, I love books. And movies."
