Yet another question

[spedbug]

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. :(

Well... I haven't heard of anything... but I'd love to see that movie....

But I'd prefer if it was a British/European production....

I thought Mr Fforde rang a bell - my wife is a massive fan. She even made a post about him here:

there's nothing up yet on IMDb, but that doesn't mean someone isn't working on something...

They'd probably cast Kirsten Dunst. I cannot stand Kirsten Dunst. She's always so...shiny.

What is so special about the T-shirt spedbug ?

I agree..over $25 seems a lot for it...but I don;t get the attraction.

But then you think wedgies are funny, so maybe we aere different wave lengths.

I <3 Thursday Next

...and as for the price of the T-shirt... well...
...what did you expect from Goliath Corporation, if not overpriced items?

I want that T-shirt too!!! :D

I heart the Thursday Next series. Can't wait for the new one to come out (this summer?).

But 25$ seems a bit too much... :S

Forgive me but... to me, that is such a cheap t-shirt, even with the postage cost. The exchange rate must be a bit skewiffy right now or something.
