Argh! Just release it!


This is the book cover as there are no real movie posters out yet (see the trailer)

Excuse this somewhat angry and irritated post, but I had to rant about this somewhere and what are blogs for? The novel Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke, is one of my favorite books and when I heart that New Line Cinema was going to turn it into a movie I was so excited. The cast was great, the preview looked awesome, and the story is so original that it couldn't possibly be ruined. I first heard about the movie production in early 2006. The movie was projected to be released around Christmas time that year. However, the date was postponed until March of 2008. I was so frustrated that I would have to wait over a year for it but I've been patiently waiting and waiting. Somehow, the March date got lost in the void and the new date became sometime in May 2008. This is where I must thank that wonderful screen writers for their fabulous strike that made nobody happy except for their greedy little selves (okay, I don't really know anything about the strike - don't attack me for false information). Thanks to the writers' strike the production of Inkheart was further postponed and now the release date is set for sometime in January of 2009....








....stupid book.
