Anita Blake movie?

So, apparently at the Wolf Howl last night, LKH told the audience that everything's signed and on the go to make a movie out of Guilty Pleasures.

I, um... Not quite sure what to think of that. Okay.

I'm looking forward to the effort myself. Like was mentioned, and I said to Rebecca, if it has a film noir, almost Bladerunner type feel to it, it would be very cool. And if they go for relative unknown actors, and pay the money for the special effects to mimic her world as closely as possible, it could be a really kick ass movie. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but it wouldn't effect my enjoyment of the series.

LKH is apparently writing the screenplay for it, which allows her to keep some control I would think.

Did it say that on the Board that she's writing the screen play? I think it's interesting that we don't have confirmation from Laurell or Darla about this. This isn't something that can be kept secret.

If she's writing the screenplay, at least that part would work. And except for Irving, this is vamps only. But...

It's over in the spoiler section of the main board. There are spoilers from additional chapter readings too that are very interesting. I won't go into detail, but if you're a spoiler junkie like I am you'll enjoy them! Someone asked in the thread if it was a case of a studio buying the rights to the book, or if an actual movie is in the works. Apparently an actual movie is in the works, and LKH said that she is doing the screenplay.

I see no reason to doubt the veracity of the information, and I would think if it was a blatant fallacy it would be pulled off the board. {shrug} I'm sure Laurell or someone will post news of it eventually.
