Our friend, and faithful author, FPW, doesn't seem to think a movie will get made anyway. Maybe he's just a devout pessimist as well.
I actually remember the movie
The Keep, I think it was back in the 80s. I read
The Tomb back then and was praying that Hollywood would make a film out of it, but it never happened. I'm not optimistic about this either. Some of the best books are optioned even before they're on the shelves and never get made for whatever the reason. I love Patricia Cornwell's books and was exicted (though muted because Demi Moore wanted to play Scarpetta) when
From Potter's Field was optioned, but it got hung up, supposedly from a conflict between Moore and Cornwell.
Fox has done some pretty satisfying miniseries-making of Dean Koontz's
Sole Survivor and
Intensity (really very first rate casting and handling), and they could really be an ideal venue for the RJ series of books. Wish I could will it to happen by thinking it out loud, but so far, I'm out of luck.
