My friend's book being filmed in Toyko - law dawg - 06-24-2008
My friend (and recent FPW convention co-speaker, as well) has optioned his first book, Rain Fall, as a movie. It will be advertised during the upcoming Bond film. It's filmed mostly in Japanese (as the setting is in Japan and the "protagonist" is half-Japanese). Gary Oldman is cast as a CIA agent tasked to bringing in John Rain, our protagonist hit man.
Here's the Japanese site: http://www.rain-fall.jp/ Kenji? What it all say?
Here's a write-up about Oldman in the movie:http://www.beyondhollywood.com/gary-oldman-versus-the-cia-in-rain-fall/
Looks to be good, and the advertising in the Bond flick can't hurt....

I've never read this series, but it sounds cool. Before I see this movie, I have to read the novel.
In Japanese site, I found Japanese title is "Ame no Kiba". It say "A fang of rain". Kippei Shiina play John Rain.

Yep. Nice guy, good author. I really enjoy the Rain series.

Barry seems to attend all of the mystery and thriller conventions. I keep seeing him with our buddy Joe. I've got copies of his first 4 Rain books, but I've only read #1.

Yeah, I keep meaning to read the Rain series, but I always forget when I'm actually in the bookstore.

The Rain books are incredible, and Barry is an awesome author (and a heck of a guy!)
