We are discussing Study
Questions from Outlander

Outlander, the Mini
Series??? Haven't Heard Too Much More!!!
Diana Gabaldon posted at her main
website* that Outlander is under development as a 4 hour miniseries by ABC
to be programmed for next year.
DG is in no way involved in any script or character approval, so please
don't "bug" her about any of those details. ;)
* Thanks to Judy for the heads up
;)

Now...Just adding my .02
I don't believe that ANY movie or tv show can do justice to the books
that Diana has written. But, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy watching
and discussing what may appear on the screen. Heck...I watch Regis so I
think I can handle a show "based" on my favorite books in the
world! That said, no matter who ABC casting picks, it really won't alter
how I SEE my favorite characters! I remember I was one of those folks
who thought the casting of Tom Cruise was an "abomination" to
Interview with a Vampire. Guess what...I thought he was FABULOUS in the
movie and couldn't imagine anyone else playing Lestat on the screen. But
when I READ Anne Rice vampire novels, I still don't equate TC with
Lestat in my mind. So I don't plan on getting TOO NUTTY about what
selections are made since they don't affect my READING...LOL!
My feeling is, if the movie is created and
promoted...all it does is justify our years of devotion to these novels
and open them up...so even MORE folks will discover the books and share
the obsession. :)
Nothing wrong with that!
