A. BRACKEN'S LORE
GETTING MOVIE ADAPTATION
And it is happening over at Universal where, according to Hollywood Reporter, Amy Pascal will turn Alexandra Bracken's bestseller LORE
into a film. Described as Hunger Games meets Greek mythology, it follows Lore Perseous whose family was murdered as a part of the Agon, a divine hunt that occurs every seven years as punishment for a past rebellion by nine Greek gods, who are forced to walk the earth as mortals and be hunted. After years in hiding, Lore has to decide if she re-enters the Agon to avenge her family’s death with the help of a childhood friend she thought was dead and Athena, one of the last of the original gods. Earlier last week, Bracken published a new book, an Arthurian contemporary fantasy titled Silver in the Bone!

SIGHT MOVIE TRAILER
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
I also have a lovely movie trailer for upcoming movie drama SIGHT starring Oscar nominated and Emmy winning Greg Kinnear and Terry Chen! It is
based on the true story of Dr. Ming Wang, a poor Chinese immigrant, who defies all odds to become a world-renowned eye surgeon in the United States. Set in 1970's rural China, a young Ming faces persecution and despair at every turn, but through the support of his dedicated family and his own unwavering determination, he finds his way to America, attends Harvard and MIT, and helps develop an innovative technology that restores sight in millions. Taking on the seemingly impossible challenge of helping a blind orphan, the resilient Dr. Wang must reconcile with his own traumatic past and face the harsh 
reality that the strength of his own will can only go so far. Fionnula Flanagan also stars. See the feature clip below:

I always enjoy inspiring stories like Sight..we are watching The Night Agent these days..very typical American thriller. Saw the price of wild garlic last week in the supermarket was 1.79 euro /25g...this morning we went to the woods and I picked a whole bag..at least 2kg. So tender and fresh. Price for the regular eggs is 2 euro/10pcs. Thank God, the price of butter now is almost normal. Organic costs more than 3 euros..but I don't care about it, because organic eggs mean little to me as the chicken ain't pasture raised. Bought a kilo of Kamut..gosh..almost 8euro.
ReplyDeleteThe Night Agent has become a massive hit for Netflix,becoming their second best watched English debut series ever, probably had a good timing since there is nothing else to watch on the telly.
DeleteButter is really expensive here, we do not eat it, my land of Vojvodina is the land of sunflowers so we use margarine and sunflower oil and mayo from it, we are a huge producer of it. It also went up, about 2 euro per litre.
I also love inspiring stories like Sight. I like to watch them when I'm feeling low or overwhelmed with my business. It motivates me to push forward.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Lore before, but I kind of like the book cover. I may have to go read some of the book reviews and think about adding it to my library queue.
This cover above is special edition, the regular one is borderline fugly LOL
DeleteHere's the thing... even with perfect sight, all too many have shown they're still blind. You know what I mean? Yes, I'm talking 2020-2021.
ReplyDeleteBlind as an owl.
DeleteI can tell you're diggin' it full blast.
DeleteDiggin' what? People being blind?
