I'm a fan of Jonathan Safran Foer's
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but I'll admit I'm a little wary of how it will adapt to the screen.
Stephen Daldry has taken the directing reigns, however, and with his proven expertise with
The Reader, The Hours, and
Billy Elliot, we can only hope he's got things under control. It'll also be great to watch Tom Hanks again...it's been a while since we've seen him in anything decent. Slash Film has the details of the film in
this First Look blog post.
According to IMDB, Foer's wife, author Nicole Krauss,
will be seeing one of her own books made into a movie (
The History of Love), though I haven't come across any details about that production yet. It will be equally as tricky to make that one work in another medium, in my opinion.
