JoeAnn, I actually let out screech when I read the news!
Scared my dog to hell and back.
A friend in Seattle sent me an email knowing I'd be
thrilled.
I've been tirelessly, and probably tiresome-ly getting everyone
and anyone I know to read these wonderful books.
And let me tell you, everyone who reads them loves them.
I can't ever thank you enough, JoeAnn, for recommending the
Temeraire trilogy to me. AND I'm not ever a major fantasy fan.
But there's just something about these particular characters
that is just so damned special. They are unique, that's for sure.
AND so beautifully written.
Peter Jackson is the PERFECT person to do these films.
He'll honor the work AND have his people create the most
amazing special effects. Of that I'm sure.
Now I just have to have the patience to wait.
And wait.
He's working on THE LOVELY BONES now, so I guess
we're talking at least four or five more years.....Jeez.
But I can wait.
I know it will be worthwhile in the end.
I was immediately thinking of Colin Firth as Laurence,
but then I thought, he'll be too old by the time
filming begins.....Too bad.
AND the voice of Temeraire will have to be someone
pretty SPECIAL. A younger sounding Jeremy Irons,
I would hope. He has one of the loveliest sounding
voices in the world, but of course it is starting to thicken
with age now......
Sigh....I'll just have to learn to curb my impatience.
Somehow.
