I don't think the holders of purse-strings are bothered by letters...

Does Mr. Darabont have intentions of ever getting this underway ...somehow!?

Who knows? I haven't seen any comment from him for several years. He got heavily distracted by his TV series THE WAKING DEAD, and is currently tied to a new TV production called LOST ANGELS.

It is a labyrinth, but such rights are normally short-lived - a producer takes out an option on a work for a period of months or years. I will see if I can find out more about F451's status, but I'm not sure whether I will succeed.

Is that the one where the zombies all wake up to discover that it had all been a dream? Kind of like that Newhart episode.

Ah, maybe I mistyped. I meant the one about the hard of hearing people who can't stand still... THE WALKING DEAF.

phil, "I will see if I can find out more about F451's status"...
Right! This seems a well-placed challenge for your cinema expertise!

As for Darabont, he seemed so bound and determined. But, alas, stuff happens!

It seems you knew more than we thought you knew!

See, told you!

Actually, I might have thinking of this or maybe even this.

Dandelion. Though I'm late to the game, this is a fantastic interview. Thanks for posting the link! Good to see so many familiar faces. Always sad to see Bernard missing!

Thanks also to people who posted video interviews, which I haven't gotten to at all!
