Scriptshadow.com’s Matt Bird recently included The Man Who Was Thursday as one of six books that have yet to have a movie made (or have one in serious development). The book is cool, what can I say? There probably is a head-trippy contemporary version that could make a smash at the box office. In fact I tried to write one myself, but I never was happy with it. I cane to realize that the book itself is extremely engaging as is, in the time period it is and with the dialog and characters in place. Why mess with a good thing?
This audio play adaptation of the book remains faithful to the original that everyone fell in love with. Of course there are liberties taken, and I’ve inserted a couple of surprises that I think the fans will like. Oh, and the ending will be just as surreal, so no Hollywood-ization there.
We’re only a few couple sessions in, so there’s a lot of work to go.
Here’s the link to the article.
