How do other Cormier fans feel about this project?
Hi everyone,
I'm curious as to the reactions of other Cormier fans to news of this novel being made into a movie. So far, people seem to be fairly excited. I hope that the translation works well. I'm not too familiar with Polson's work but hopefully he remains faithful to the novel. I think it is very cinematic in the first place, as it is kind of built around vignettes and scenery, such as the park where he takes the girl canoeing and so on.
I have been waiting for a film version of After the First Death for years, but apparently it isn't forthcoming. I understand the rights to that book have been optioned a few times, including once just before September 11th, but the projects have pretty much all been abandoned before filming started. But Tenderness is a great novel and suitable for filming also. Hopefully it works well.
