Calling out for some suggestions here.<\/p>\n

I seem to be juggling a small spate of interviews\/online discussions at the moment, one of which is a long-overdue contribution to something called “My Book, the Movie<\/a>“. This is an ongoing blog in which various authors dream a bit about who they’d like to see direct\/star in\/roach-wrangle movie adaptations of their novels. The closest I ever got to a serious movie adaptation was via some guy working for South Park, who wanted an option for Starfish<\/em> without paying any money up front. Oh, and someone else who respected my dedication to scientific credibility so much that she’d lined up the writer of Wing Commander<\/em> for the screenplay. Bullets were dodged, travesties avoided, and here I am years later still subsisting on a hand-to-mouth diet of rice and barnacles.<\/p>\n

Anyway. Back then I thought that Carrie-Ann Moss would make a kick-ass Lenie Clarke, but she’s since aged out of the twentysomething demographic. I thought Ridley Scott might be a decent director, and Cameron certainly had the underwater\/female hero thing down pat, but those are both pretty obvious choices. I’ve put this thing off long enough; I’ve got to come up with names I’d like to see representing my work on both sides of the camera, but I’m not experiencing any aha moments.<\/p>\n

So, what do you people think? Any ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
