Repairman Jack Movie - joka221 - 01-01-2006 I think Tim Daly would be perfect playing the Repairman Jack character, he is so diverse with the characters he has played in the past and he is so believable with them all. Also, with all his different characters good and bad he brings a sex appeal without even trying.

Aww, C'mon. I just named those guys from "That '70's Show" as a joke. Only in a world ruled by Rasalom would any of those guys make it in "The Repairman Jack" movie. However, I stand by my choices of either Edward Norton or Keifer Sutherland taking on the role of Jack. After more careful consideration I have dumped Matt Damon from my list of choices. Repairman Jack Movie - GunsSaveLives - 01-02-2006 alien_yet_familiar Wrote:"Watchers" (the one with the smart dog, Einstein) was made into four movies ( I, II, III, and Reborn ) released in 1988, 1990, 1994, 1998, respectively, none of which do the book justice or are worth watching. The Koontz book that I'd go see as a movie would be Dark Rivers of the Heart - kind of an antithesis of the Mack Bolan series. If Hollyweird does decide to make an RJ movie, they should pay FPW a million or three for an original script that stands on its own (and as a book, too). Otherwise the studio staff might be tempted to rewrite the story a bit. For example, check out the two Punisher flicks - Frank Castle was never a cop in any of the comics those two wastes-of-footage were based on, yet in the first one (with Dolph Lundgren), he starts off with a local PD. In the second one (with Thomas Jade), he starts off as some kind of fe(de)ral agent. Other examples are the X-Men movies - the production crew crammed thousands of pages of backstory into ~ 30 minutes of story. Let's not even go into the botch job that Verhitler did with Starship Troopers. Probably the best movements from one medium to another were the way Star Trek and Firefly went from TV to feature films. The crews just picked up the stories where they left off at the end of the TV runs and started from there. They figured that a large portion of the audience was somewhat familiar with the backstory, and that the movie plot would be able to stand on its own. - Mike Blessing Repairman Jack Movie - Bluesman Mike Lindner - 01-02-2006 GunsSaveLives Wrote:The Koontz book that I'd go see as a movie would be Dark Rivers of the Heart - kind of an antithesis of the Mack Bolan series. "Verhitler"--I like that! Repairman Jack Movie - Tony H - 01-02-2006 Movies of dean Koontz books that I have seen: Watchers (and the subsequent sequels) Mr. Murder Intensity Phantoms Hideaway Sole Survivor The Funhouse (He actually wrote the book based on the movie) That's all I can remember.

Best King book/movie IMHO would have to be Shawshank Redemption. With Carrie and Christine following... Vampire$ by John Steakley is a classic case of good story, poor movie. With Steakley's homage to Heinlein in "Armour" maybe we will get lucky and somebody with a little faith in the story can bring that one to film. Speaking of faith in the story, have read on fpw's news the rewrites in Hwood stand at what? 10? 11? now.. yoiks, how many till they come back to the original vision? har har. As this is my first day, plz forgive a mb newbie any faux pas, but how cool is this that there is actual , i say ACTUAL interaction with an author? This rocks. Period. . . Spotted on an urelated thread, the name Laurell K Hamilton, very cool as well. SO! the guy to play jack, yah toughie, but i gotta give the nod to the earlier suggestion of Ed Norton. Excellent actor. I think he has the range. Gonna have to swing from vulnerability to god of war/rage. By the way, have they sized up a rubber suit to make anyone into a rakosh yet?
