Repairman Jack Movie? - bill1971 - 03-21-2009
I havent heard anything in a while. Is Ryan Reynolds still going to be Jack? Is it on schedule? I think Ryan could pull it off, is Paul behind the choice? If this was discussed recently I apologize, I must have missed it.

Sorry about that FPW. Must be frustrating as all Hell.

Geez, I get to communicate with my favorite author of the last 15-20 years and I annoy him.
Sorry, I didnt really know too much about it. Anyhow, I am enjoying the books and while I have the chance.. thanks for giving me hours and hours of entertainment.

That's about how long the RJ movie has been "in process."
Like FPW, I too am no longer holding my breath.

Even if they don't make the movie, I still have the books. Besides, they can never make the perfect movie. We all have our own perceptions of Jack. I live in California and it occurs to me that he probably has a Jersey accent. I have to remember that while I'm reading.

Besides, they can never make the perfect movie.True enough, however, what many of us are hoping for is a good movie that will call for at least a couple of sequels. Not to mention getting a great many new people intrested in reading all the other RJ novels.
It's just another way of promoting the works of our favorite author.
Quote: I live in California and it occurs to me that he probably has a Jersey accent. I have to remember that while I'm reading.Many, if not most of the regional accents in this country have faded a good bit over the last fourty years -- probably due to television.

I think the real reason for the delay in the movie is that Tangerine Dream is all booked and not available to make the soundtrack.

What! You mean John Borg and I have been frozen out!?:eek:
And here I had the over-the-credits lyric written already...
Here comes Jack!
He's a very bad man!
That's right!

I think they are holding out for Michael Mann. He probably still has a bad taste after The Keep. They're gonna have to pay him a lot to take another crack at The Adversary Cycle.
