Somehow I missed that there was an "Eagle Of the Ninth" movie filming. I remember being very fond of that YA novel. I was also pleased to hear that the always-in-development Tripods trilogy has a new script.
For those of you whose taste runs more to the musical, you might be interested to hear that there's a Miss Saigon movie in development.
Also, the Swedish film adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo has now got a US release. The book seems enormously popular, but I haven't read it yet. Any good?
Other projects that sound interesting: Ridley Scott is apparently going to remake the "Red Riding" miniseries for US audiences.
What struck me about this story wasn't so much the oh-god-here-we-go-again spectacle of American remakes of British tv, but the fact I somehow hadn't yet heard of this series: The original [Red Riding], which was based on a four novel series by David Peace, is a study of power and police corruption framed around the investigation of the disappearance of several young girls in a case based on the real life Yorkshire Ripper killings.
In the Netflix queue it goes.
