After finishing Ted Dekker's Circle trilogy two nights ago, I was blown away. I don't know, however, if it could effectively be made into movies...same with Blink, which I think I also mentioned earlier in this thread - HOWEVER, if it could be done, and done well (and I'm picky about the "done well" part), I'm all for it!
They tried and did it VERY badly.
They released on video first to get everyone excited about the movie THEN they released it in Theaters hoping that every Christian in America would get excited about it and tell all their non Christian friends.
The videos did well, but it COMPLETELY flopped at the box office. Why? Because everyone that wanted to see it already saw it on video!!!!

Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bare my blame

Hood by Stephen R. Lawhead. We deserve another good medieval movie, and a good Robin Hood movie.

Yes yes, but when was that made? I want a newer one, and more realistic, not so romanticized.

I'd like to see more Ted Dekker movies made, as well as some more Frank Peretti! They would definitely need a bigger budget and better production company than what has been used for their current stuff, though... I'm picky about the "done well" part, too...LizzieG wrote:After finishing Ted Dekker's Circle trilogy two nights ago, I was blown away.

the westing game is already a movie .. in fact i saw the movie before i read the book ..our church had a game night and we stoped the movie before they told who did it. and we had to guess ... no one got it right except my dad and he wasnt allowed to play.Arwen wrote:Did I mention the Westing Game already? That'd be awesome.

*ahem* Basil Rathbone was an extremely popular actor in the golden days of Hollywood and the original actor for Sherlock Holmes. He will always be remembered for his outstanding acting ability and the life he brought to numerous unforgettable characters.Darth Birdie wrote:Ha one of the guys names is Basil Rathbone!
