I have not yet seen the movie - or the play - but I have read the play. From all I have heard about the movie I do want to see it - Hoping it comes to a streaming platform - minus the charges - soon.

the book The Whale by Samuel D. Hunter

Currently still in theaters. You can BUY it on Prime for $19.99 or wait a bit longer until it is either rent-able or free to stream.

I have enjoyed everything I have read by her.

Starting to hear some buzz - same book author as Daisy Jones & The Six or Carrie Soto Is Back. It's Taylor Jenkins Reid

Sounds like this adaptation is headed for Netflix

Stay tuned for more updates...

I read the book and then watched the series on Hulu. Loved them both. The series follows the book almost to a tee. Not a series to watch with children in the room, it is a bit risque, but so funny with a lot of truth.

Whew finally I just picked this book up and started reading. I have others due at the library, but I keep passing this one by - not any more. I read far enough that I thought I could maybe watch the first episode on Hulu. So I did.

I am liking the book , but loved the series. At least episode one of the series. This is very much an adult comedy - don't watch while you have kids present. I laughed so hard I cried. I need to keep reading so I can watch episode two!

I watched this on Netflix a few nights ago and loved it. Hanks is so versatile and such a good actor. Well worth the time to watch even if you have read the book and seen the 'Ove' edition.

Everything seemed to be pay for view until I noticed that Prime had She Said showing. I watched it last night and felt that it was just as good as the book. Great job - great reporting - great movie and I loved the book - could not put it down. Hope they roast that old Bastard! 23 yrs is not enough - altho he will die in prison. Here is hoping that London gets him for another 50 yrs.

Is anyone interested in any foreign language shows from books? I have found a couple but unless someone wants to watch/read them I am not going to post them. The ones I have found are both in Spanish. I think there are English translations of the books, but the shows are still in Spanish. Let me know if you are interested and what languages you are talking about and I will see what I can come up with.

Thanks for joining us Kristin

Thanks Karen. I have it listed under Book to Theater Movie/Streaming. I will have to give it a try. I haven't read that book yet, but with so many of them coming out I can't stay on top of them.

Finally this year they will release Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann as not only a movie in theaters but also on Apple+ streaming. Been a long time coming.

Another new possibility...

Per The Independent
(The Independent is a British online newspaper. It was established in 1986 as a national morning printed paper. Nicknamed the Indy, it began as a broadsheet and changed to tabloid format in 2003.)

Warner Bros ‘in talks’ with JK Rowling about Harry Potter TV series 4/4/23 Tom Murray

A Harry Potter TV series is under discussion between Warner Bros and JK Rowling.

The media giant is reportedly pushing to convince the author to produce a new series based directly on her book series for its new streaming service that will combine HBO Max and Discovery+.

Bloomberg first reported that the media giant was “close to a deal” for the series on Monday (3 April). However, The Independent understands that while the proposal is “in talks”, it is not near completion.

Bloomberg cites two sources with knowledge of the deal saying that each season of the series will be based on one of the seven books.

The controversial author will be “involved in the series to ensure it remains loyal to her original material” but will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the show or serve as its creator, the publication’s sources say.

The Independent has contacted Rowling’s representatives for comment.

The news comes days after Rowling’s production company Brontë Film and TV reported a 74 per cent drop in profits.

The company’s subsidiaries include Harry Potter Theatrical Productions, which produces the play Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. Brontë has attributed its plummeting profits to the closure of theaters during the Covid lock down.

The English author has been the subject of sustained backlash due to her stance on transgender issues, which some critics have characterized as “transphobic”.

Earlier this year, the highly anticipated game based on the Harry Potter universe Hogwarts Legacy was released after being met by some unsuccessful calls for a boycott.

Warner Bros produced the eight films based on the book series, which generated more than $7.7bn (£6.2 bn) at the worldwide box office.
