I really want to see this one happen, and I know Clive is looking forward to going to the world Down Under, so I wish for no more delays!

Hi the link didn't work but nevermind. I used to work for Simon Carr who wrote the book The boys are back in town....it's a great read...he even mentioned me...so I can't wait for the movie...hopefully they start filming very soon...Lenka

So if you use to work for him, do you feel any concern about how a movie never follows the book in the same way? I mean, yes, Clive Owen will play the lead but do you worry about how people you actually know will be portrayed?

I am excited about it - mainly becauase of the premise but I was just wondering . . .

I know that they already changed the profesion of the father in the book. In real life he writes sketches about House of Commons, UK but in the movie he is supposed to be a sport writer to make it more atractive. So I m sure there will be some changes from the book but isnĀ“t it what usually happens?
