I read another of his and though he can do plot, I thought his characterisation and especially dialogue were poor. I’d love a TV adaptation of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner myself.

I listen to it every Christmas Eve, a glass of good whisky in my hand... http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2681042574/ They also broadcast it every year... best, M.

I can never make up my mind as to whether it goes best on Christmas Eve with Whisky, Drambuie or a really good Port heres 🥃 to you ps. If it was to be done then I can think of a certain producer a la Wingnut Wings that could do a decent job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forever War was supposed to be turned into a movie with Ridley Scott directing and Channing Tatum starring, however i haven't heard much about it over the last few years.... but it has moved closer to production in the last 5 years than the previous 20! https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/167077/what-if-any-is-the-current-status-of-the-forever-war-movie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACETRACK Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I think Dracula is going to suck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Racetrack.........I like your dry sense of humour about Dracula going to suck! It's what he does best! Seen a few references to 'The Massacre of Mankind' in this thread that I would gather is a modern writer's follow up to War of the Worlds. Guess that the Martians are coming back for second pop in this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACETRACK Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 no, yes. all puns intended .I don't have high hopes for Drac's appearance on the BBC. Also for another sequel to WotW check out Scarlet traces...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
