*staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaares*
Jan. 29th, 2010 10:15 pmThey are making a film of The Eagle of the Ninth with some Ben Affleck clone as Marcus Aquila. I REALLY hope they don't do to it what they did to The Dark Is Rising.
For people too young to remember, The Eagle of the Ninth is a fabulous kids' book where a young Roman lad and his British slave have adventures north of Hadrian's wall. I adore it and the subsequent novels. The author, Rosemary Sutcliffe, died some years ago. She's one of my heros - I read her stuff and thought 'I want to write like that'. It always hurts to see things you love mangled.
*calms down and hopes for the best*
