it's not an either/or situation. each project takes its own
laborious path to production and eventual release. there are
in fact, Bosch projects in development at least. I love Harry
Bosch, but for my money, the Connelly novel with the most
cinematic potential is the stand alone thriller The
Poet.
I enjoyed the Eastwood version of Blood Work for the most
part, although the incredibly miscast Paul Rodriquez did his
best to try and ruin it all on his own. thought the movie was
the sort of project the younger Paul Newman would have been
great in.
