I am new to this forum and was shocked to learn that repairman jack is in Nightworld. Is that a series novel or does he just make an appearance in it? Sad to admit I haven't read all the f paul wilson books, but I have read some that do not feature jack.
This next part has nothing to do with the above.
After reading some remarks here about possible stars for a movie, I realized that I had an opinion about it. This may be hard to find but he must be someone who looks both ordinary and quite good looking at the same time, at least on second glance. The thing is he doesn't want anyone to take a second glance.
Having said all this, it's probably impossible. I just hope they don't make another Remo Williams film. That was CRAP, if you pardon my french. However, the guy who played that (who is definitely too old now) would have made a perfect Repairman Jack. That's the type of actor they need.
Also a tv series would probably just turn into another equalizer and no one could ever convince me jack is an equalizer.
In fact I am totally surprised that the author is risking a movie on this series, although generally bad movies do not risk sales of series books, such as the aforementioned Remo Williams or even the multi failed attempts of the Spenser novels.
Not sure why age 26 is a max point but an idea for jack might be the guy who stars in Stargate Atlantis as Major Sheppard.
Wow that was a lot for my first time.

There have been countless movie adaptations of books that I've been disappointed by, and only a couple I've liked. I'm looking forward to the RJ movie, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.True! Except for the Shining (which I think Jack made), look at Stephen Kings adaptations...
