Orson - trust me on this one, guy - take the money and run. And don't look back. Unless you're really, really lucky, they're gonna butcher it.

I just got done watching Asimov's Nightfall on video; it has to be the worst movie I've ever watched. I really hope Card keeps these guys on their toes...Ender was an awesome book and I'd hate to see the story screwed up.

Lord of the Rings was good, but a lot of the sci-fi and stuff thats been made has been horrible. I don't even want to think about Starship Troopers

I saw "I, Robot" last evening.

Asimov was lucky in that he never had to see what Hollywood did to his novel...

You hit it on the head. And the original short story was far better than the book in any case.

Is this the first OSC sory to come to screen? I wish they would try to film the Alvin Maker books..

Also Im a big fan of Roger Zelazny and have been dreaming about a movie version of a book he wrote called Jackk of Shadows...
