With such things you only get one real chance at the apple so to speak. Well I suppose some get more since they have more books but still. People hold such stories so close to their hearts that it is super difficult to let just anyone change it or possibly change it.

I do think it will be huge, I do think there will be lots of merchandising and well a big Halloween for it. Curious though, it is not the warmest story in the world and well I heard they stayed true. Wonder if that will turn people off.
actually, i just saw an interview about this.. maurice basically let spike do what he wanted.. the basis is true to the book, but their are some differences, although he didnt divulge..

what maurice did say, was that the movie was going to be controversial...

so, not really sure what he means by that...

and yes, as stated by another poster, i think the 30-40 y/o will go see it too..

i predict 100 million opening weekend if they put it in enough theaters...
