Yet another question

Does anyone know or has anyone heard if there's a movie in the making based on the Jasper Fforde "Thursday Next" series of novels? I'm reading Something Rotten at the moment and think the man is the most bloody brilliant farcical writer in a long time. I'd love to see Hollywood do the character of Thursday Next justice but I'd bet they had someone completely wrong play her...someone sexed up for the screen.


(I'm seriously considering this purchase!)

*Edited to add: I just converted GBP to USD and as much as I'd like this t-shirt, I'm not paying over $25 for it. :(

Right now, one GBP is equivalent to ~1.75 USD. So, I'd be paying nearly double for it. Normally, I'd pay no more than $15 for a t-shirt, here, unless it was a specialty shop. Granted, this is a specialty tee but considering I just bought my self the following in the last week or so, I'd feel guilty buying it:

1) A Chorus Line, Original Broadway Cast Recording
2) You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, New Broadway Cast Recording
3) Little Women, Original Broadway Cast Recording
4) Sweeney Todd, 2005 Broadway Revival Cast Recording
5) Once Upon A Mattress, DVD (Carol Burnett, Tracey Ullman)
