First with A Certain Slant of Light - the movie rights have been sold to Warner Brothers! Oh my god! My ultimate dream! If there was ever a book I read that I desperately wanted it to be turned into a movie, it is this book. Of course, the book will probably be destroyed in movie form and will lose all of the beautifulness that it is but for the time being, I'm so excited for this! I can't wait to hear more about this upcoming Hollywood project. I normally hate that movies have become so unoriginal that they have to steal ideas from books but if they do this right, this movie will be just as lovely and perfect as the book.
And with Twilight - MTv Films, Paramount and Maverick films have renewed the option to turn this book into a movie! They have until April 2008 to officially buy the rights to the story and fingers crossed that they do. Author Stephenie Meyer is so excited about this prospect that she has even casted her characters with actors she feels would be the best to portray them and she makes some good choices, even if the author has zero input on who is casted. On her website, Meyer also puts updates about all of the Twilight sequels and has even posted the first chapter of Midnight Sun*, a story told from Edward the vampire's point of view. Too bad that this book won't hit shelves for a least a couple years.*to read the chapter, you need Adobe Reader.
