Not sure if anyone has asked this yet, but can it be a movie that is currently filming/being cast? Like City of Bones?
I'm doing so well I decided to upgrade to hard...

I found this in message 28, from Alana:Yes, I will count that one- they've already likely finished the movie- it's just in post-production phase. If they are already filming something, I think I'll even count that. If they are just casting something... then I don't necessarily have faith yet that it will "happen"
This was in response to someone's question about a movie that was coming out in theaters soon.
I'm in. I will do the medium level for now.Based on a Book Mini Challenge

EDIT 8/26/2012: I'm done.
Done! :)It was fun, but actually easy - there are so many books that have inspired movies... ;)
What I posted last October:I have five books on my Next-up list that qualify for this. We'll see how many I get through in November.
One Day
What Was She Thinking?: Notes on a Scandal
Kitty Foyle
Room at the Top
The Caine Mutiny
What actually happened: I read none of them in November. Oddly, though, I've started three of them since 9/25/12 and finished one of the three already. So I'm gonna go with medium, done by 10/25/12, these books:
One Day
Kitty Foyle started 9/25
Room at the Top started 9/27 finished 9/28

Wow - strangely enough, this seems to be the month of "liking movies better than the book" - which hardly ever happens!!! I guess it was because of this particular selection of the books/movies....

No problem, although my updating is behind... we had a massive Flu wave hit our house (like 2 weeks ago?) and I'm still trying to recover
Ok, I'll do another one, even though I'm not sure if this is still an active challenge...Mar.15th - Apr.15th
