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-oldm...rain-fall/
Looks to be good, and the advertising in the Bond flick can't hurt....

It's an 88 magnum. It shoots through schools.

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.

Barry was at GU3, iirc.

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!)
Sorry but I have to interject, the books are great and Barry is smokin' hot!!! (sorry but someone had to say it!!!)
