Hi everybody! New here to the site, and RJ in general. I've only read The Tomb and Legacies, so in no way will I pretend to be an expert on F. Paul Wilson or RJ, not at this stage of the game.
That said: I really hope, if the film comes to fruition, they pick a "normal" looking guy to play Jack. Maybe even an unknown. FPW stresses his "normal" looks and his ability to blend effortlessly into crowds. I don't feel some of the choices I'm hearing could accomplish that.
Also, one of the things I like about RJ is his quirkiness. The fact that he's kind of a geek with the stuff he collects is endearing to me. I see myself in that and many of my friends, male and female, so I hope they don't transform Jack into some sort of ultra-cool, suave, ladies man--that's not the Jack I've come to know.
Hollywood being what it is, we may see The Rock playing RJ with J-Lo playing Gia, and instead of the Rakoshi, he'll have to kill a cadre of Special Ops assassins with his bare hands to save Vicky. All without breaking a sweat.
