I'm nearly finished this book, and I *just* found out this is coming out as a movie this fall with Mel Gibson as Murray and Sean Penn as Minor. Which interests me not all. There will be a deep level of irony, too, if the movie makes use of the "how they met" story line that Winchester takes great pains to prove is false.
