His Dark Materials

Chris Weitz on adapting Philip Pullman's trilogy for the screen (thanks to Kia for the link).

I have to say, I'm really, really bloody impressed.

seconding (or is it thirding) the thanks for the link. I have to say this looks *really* promising - I like his bg in English Lit and he just sounds down to earth and sensible about the whole thing. Phew.

The only thing I'm wondering is how long it's going to take for someone to pick up the DiR series and run with it - the books are so short, it would seem fairly ideal to convert them into maybe a movie trilogy. Oh well, I live in hope.

Ah, that's one of those things - on the one hand, it would be so cool! On the other, I don't think I could bear it...
