I was the person who originally posted the thing about how nice
this Bester book would be as a movie. Another netter, Alexander Burchell,
added that it *is* being filmed, or at least that a script has been bought.
I have one more followup; I heard from a friend recently, that it's
John Carpenter who's doing the film. If this is true, I'm rather pleased.
My own nominee for director had been Spielberg, but I'm willing to change
my mind. I haven't liked all of Carpenter's movies (I'm more into SF
than horror), but I've liked some of them (DARK STAR, THE THING) very
much, and I think Carpenter's approach to films could be very well-suited
to this story.
Anyone heard about this, or have more information?
