Well, I am very happy for George, but I think that with this
Puffy guy
involved, the movie will definitely take a different track
from the novel,
one that won't be all that great. i am not an admirer of
Puffy Combs, who
I believe steals other folks' songs and twists them into
terrible
commercial rap. And has anyone seen the videos this guy
makes? He is this
glorified hero-gangster (with his private jet and fleet of
SUVs) figure in
everyone, being chased by some pseudo government agency. The
last one was
a John Woo ripoff, where Puffy stops to pray at a church, and
Doves fly out
of his palms. (???) And THIS guy wants to take a shot with a
GREAT
literary crime novel (to me, it is) ? I really, really,
really, hope he
doesn't ruin it.
I wonder how much George got for the rights?
