liptonrm_backupI found some interesting entertainment stuff this morning. It mostly concerns what some RHAR actors are up to next, but there's also a movie announcement that has made me extremely happy.
I'd heard rumors about a new animated show from Seth McFarlane, the guy who brought us Family Guy and now I see that Scott Grimes is going to be regularly involved in it. How cool is that?
Apparently there's a movie coming out called Annapolis that will star Donnie Wahlberg, Jordana Brewster and James Franco. Wow, that's Lipton, Delilah and Harry Osborne all in the same place. I think if I ever write an autobiography it'll be called As the Vortex Swirls ...
And now, the exciting movie news. It was recently announced that Ed Zwick will be directing a movie adaptation of the Guy Gavriel Kay novel The Lions of Al-Rassan. The press release can be found here.
I adore the works of Guy Gavriel Kay. He is one of the few modern fantasists whose work I actually enjoy. I tend to fangirl his writing with words like 'poetic' and 'heartbreakingly beautiful'. His characters are rich, his stories are deep and, yeah, I'm a big fan. And Lions is the perfect book to adapt, the story is one of his strongest and it is complete in the book. Very excited. Extremely excited. 'Dancing around the office throwing paper in the air' excited. My fingers and toes are crossed that the adaptation will be more along the lines of LotR and less like The Postman.
Have also just found out that my brother really is going to buy me a digital camera with his income tax return. Wow. I love my brother.
