Columbia Pictures has apparently optioned Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine". Anyone know if plans to actually make a movie of this are underway? Only a few even vaguely realistic films dealing with computer hackers have ever been made so this could be quite a first. My favorites thus far include: Demon Seed and Tron (interesting hackers but lousy movies).

Columbia is definitely planning to turn "The Soul of a New Machine" into a movie. I remember reading that they've already got some script writers busy working on it.
