seems to be true. an interview on todays swiss press features a certain tobias horka who worked with mf. and he confirms that he has seen mf in front of the camera!!!! it must be an autobiographocal movie. or at least i’ve never heard that mf showed big talents as an artist till now. :-)it is also confirmed that there will be an official release in june/july.

Yes, heard rumours about this, too! But it seems to be a independent autobiographical piece, starring MF as a leading actor. Anybody who knows more about this, please share!!!

by the way, “Interview with a Vampire” is a kick-ass movie

The book really wasn’t that disjointed, and it didhave heros and characters, you just had to look for them. Paul Redeker, the President (who they left unamed), Emile Renard(who is mentioned several times), General Raj-Sing . . . the amount of cross-reference, allusion, and intertwining in that book is incredible. However, you really only notice the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time through

I think this can be adapted into a great movie if it’s done correctly. I’m thinking something along the lines of “Interview With the Vampire” where the background of the book is two guys doing an interview but the bulk of the story is told in first person via the character being interviewed, starting with a narrative that runs throughout the story to give it continuity, but melds into a memory with character interaction and dialogue, etc.

Additionally I think this will necessarily be a long movie — “Interview with the Vampire” was a 3 hour audiobook whittled down a 2 hour movie. “World War Z” is a 6 hour long audiobook, so even with some substantial editing (which I believe could be done fairly easily without sacrificing much) it really needs to be at least in the 3 hour timeframe IMO to retain its cohesiveness.

Frankly I don’t think anyone is going to enjoy sitting through a 3+ hour long movie that feels like a documentary. And you better believe the theaters won’t be happy about running a 3+ hour long movie unless they are pretty sure it’s going to be packing ‘em in like the longish “Lord of the Rings” movies.
