Given his background, I do suspect the resulting film will be pretty pulpy and heavy on the 'action' scenes. <br /><br />As you say, his track record is less than spectacular. Doubt Brett will be that bothered though - the most likely outcome is a middling movie that only helps his book sales, so nothing to worry about there. It's not like the crap Eragon films ruined Paolini's sales at all.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763695390241432518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-40747232730882800912009-07-29T19:15:05.576+01:002009-07-29T19:15:05.576+01:00Oh that just about makes me want to puke in the co...Oh that just about makes me want to puke in the corner!! Paul WS Anderson has made one decent film in his entire career (Event Horizon) and that was twelve years ago. Even then it was a rip off of better horror movies.<br /><br />The Resident Evil movies, whichever ones he directed were utterly crap. The film with Kurt Russell set on a garbage planet was awful too. <br /><br />Aliens Versus Predator sucked all kinds of dick and as for Death Race...well it was kind of alright. <br /><br />Mmm, Peter V Brett will of course be happy at cashing in on the rights to the novel. But I wonder will he be happy with the resulting movie?<br /><br />Conan to be directed by Marcus Nispel (the remaking German hack) and The Painted Man to be directed by Paul W S Anderson. Mmmm fantasy movies aren't getting a fair deal at the mo.Iainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071546979497176969noreply@blogger.com
