Interesting quote:
"As for riding the worms, I'm going to show it three or four
different ways, none of which i'm going to talk about now.
I'll just say that these worms are 1,500 feet of pure raw
power and that's what will be on the screen".
Paul Lynch
All the above information was taken from "MARQUEE". The article
included about 20-25 photos of the movie, and if they are anything
to go on this looks like an extremely good adaptation of the book.
Looking forward to December 14...
