Based on the Book

We have read a few books that have become movies.

Some we read quickly before the movie came out....such as Julie & Julia.

Others became movies after our BC read the book. Then we can be really 'cool' saying..."I read the book- it's so much better then the movie." Those have included but not limited to:

Little Children
The Kite Runner
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
The Other Boleyn Girl
My Sister's Keeper

The current book we are reading is no different. Wikipedia reports According to the The Guardian newspaper, word is that George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt are all interested in playing the central role of Mikael Blomkvist, has been followed by suggestions that producer Søren Stærmose, of Yellow Bird, who holds screen rights to the books, has been approached by directors including Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese.

The next movie prediction....The Help by Katheryn Stockett and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
