PAUL HAGGIS TO ADAPT
'THE LAST OF THE TRIBE'
Two highly intriguing book adaptations for you today, with two great directors, starting with brilliant Paul Haggis who might direct the adaptation 
of THE LAST OF THE TRIBE jungle thriller based on The Last of the Tribe: The Epic Quest to Save a Lone Man in the Amazon, by Washington Post reporter Monte Reel. It's a compelling true story: It’s estimated that more than 40 undiscovered indigenous tribes make their home in the Brazilian Amazon. The constitution says that if there’s even one surviving Indian, the surrounding land becomes a preserve that cannot be exploited commercially. When one such Indian was discovered in 1996, big money interests tried to kill him, while a small group tried to save him.

RIDLEY SCOTT TO ADAPT
'DYING TO BE ME' CANCER BOOK
Meanwhile, 'Deadline' also reports that Ridley Scott will produce the movie adaptation of Anita Moorjani's bestseller DYING TO BE ME in which she describes her four-year battle against cancer. Over whelmed by malignant cells,
her body began shutting down. As her organs failed, she
entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized
her inherent worth and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining
consciousness, her condition improved. She wrote in the book that within
three days, 70% of her cancer was gone. Shortly after, she was declared
cancer free. She also recounts stories of her Hong Kong childhood, the
search for true love, leading to a near end in a hospital bed. Raised in
a Hindu family that lived in Chinese and British society, she came away
from near death with an epiphany that miracles are popular.

The Last of the Tribe sounds like an interesting story, and I think Paul Haggis could definitely do it justice. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely sounds like a potentially great project
DeleteI liked Patricia Clarkson in The Station Agent.
ReplyDeleteshe is always rather great
DeleteI'm sort of interested in Dying to be Me, but a bit skeptical since the book's forward is written by Dr. Wayne Dyer. I went to one of his seminars once and it was a bit "cult-like".
ReplyDeleteoh, noes, we hate cults and sects....
DeleteAm I the only one screaming about the trailer for Star Wars... Chewie we're Home! Ahhhhhhhhh!
ReplyDelete'tis a much better one than that horrid first one... but still too many darkness in it
DeleteAhhhhhhhhh! X 2
Deletehope we get some posters soon
DeleteAhhhhhhhhh! x3
Delete'tis a starwarish geekgasm...
DeleteMariah's boyfriend made her watch all the Star Wars films and said he insists they go to the theater for the new one. She's not thrilled, but fair is fair. He did accompany her to The Fault In Our Stars.
ReplyDeletehe he ... maybe he should take the father in law :)
DeleteHahah! I'd like to see that happen. No way Jason would go. If he did, he'd embarrass them with his snoring!
Deletea sleeping chaperon is a good chaperon
DeleteIn who's world? lol
Deletewell, theirs :)
DeleteYes I make no excuseses....I'm here for Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteI just knew it :)
DeleteWookies do not age
ReplyDeletethey regularly use conditioners
DeleteMan, Chewie hasn't aged a day! And "Learning to Drive" looks kinda fun. I like Sikhs and Ben Kingsley, so where's the downside?
ReplyDeleteit does seem like a lovely little film... I love them like that....
DeleteI really like all three.
ReplyDeletebut there are four :)
DeleteThe Star Wars teaser gives me tingles...
ReplyDeleteit will pass :)
DeleteIt was so fun getting to see Han again!
ReplyDeleteI say
DeleteI love near-death books. I read the one by the brain surgeon who died and came back and it was WAY detailed. Almost too detailed. My mind kept drifting!
ReplyDeletewill it happen to us as well, I wonder? Although I did die once at a surgery, but they revived me :) which is why I have a broken lifeline on my palm.
DeleteDon't judge me for saying this, but I have never seen ANY Star Wars or Star Trek films. Ever.
ReplyDeleteYou havent missed much, it's a total yawnfest
DeleteI was thinking Patricia was "learning to drive a trailer." Have to slow down my mind.
ReplyDelete"Dying to be Me" seems like a touching story. I would want to read the book and see the movie as I've had family members who died from cancer.
Driving a trailer could be useful too :)
DeleteI have some friends who are currently battling it,so it might help them too....
The Clarkson/Kingsley combo will be unbeatable.
ReplyDeleteShould be a great one
DeleteThe Clarkson/Kingsley combo will be unbeatable.
ReplyDeleteshould be a great one
DeleteHi Dezmond,
ReplyDelete"LAST OF THE TRIBE" looks interesting and Star Wars...well, I'm speechless...

Phil.

DeleteStar Wars... I bet with a million not funny references to the original trilogy.
ReplyDeleteas if the original was funny....
