Has everyone seen this? I never thought of Will Smith as playing the part of Talcott. Wonder who will they get to play Kimmer--Jada?

I thought htis was a pretty interesting book , but I'm not quite sure it would make and exciting movie.

What do you guys think? Do good books necessarily make good movies? What movies do you think have or haven't made the transition sucessfully?

I didn't think of Will Smith either. Maybe Courtney Vance or Gerald Early.

Definately didn't think of Will Smith as Talcot but I think it could work. I'm just not sure about the book as a movie at all. I'm sure the screen writer will have his/her work cut out.
