Here is the August 2010 update on the current status of the “books to film” projects that have been mentioned on this blog to this point. I will attempt to do this once a month in order to follow each film until it reaches DVD. Please remember that release dates are subject to change, and that sometimes “Announced” and “In Development” films never get made, more’s the pity. In other news, have you noticed that Brad Pitt is currently linked to 28 projects that are in development, many of which are book adaptations?
As always, if you have any news about an upcoming book to film adaptation, please comment and let me know.
