My s-i-l told me that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston bought the movie rights to The Time-Traveler's Wife.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ooooh. No. I mean, yay for a movie (it's one of those books where halfway through, I started an outline for the movie), but no. Just no.

No you don't want them in it? Or no, you don't want them to have any part of it?
Didn't Brad buy the rights to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and that's how this movie got made? (Honest question. I'm only half recalling a vague conversation about it.)

I definitely would not watch them in it. Not that I have a particular hate-on for either of them, but IMO they are all wrong for a movie adaptation of the book.

I haven't read the book, so I'm working on less information, but I do have to stand up for Brad, who has never stopped surprising me with his talent and choices. It may wind up not being as bad a match as people might think. Plus they might just want to produce it, and let other people star in it, so there's that, too.

I have liked Brad Pitt in many movies, and I think Jennifer Aniston has done some good work too. And if they are only producing, then I have no objections. But I stand firm in my opinion that neither of them would be right to play the two main characters in the book. I don't think either of them has the gravitas needed to pull it off.

I think I may have to read this book.
Also, nice tag Kate.

I loved the book and cannot see either Brad or Jennifer in those parts.
However, if they bought the rights in order to produce it -- that's a different story.

Oh, Sean, you must read TTW! It's so good.
Also, nice tag Kate.
Thanks! It's from a show that KristinT and I went to see in New Haven a few weeks ago, The Mystery of Irma Vep. (For posterity: "Virginity is the balloon in the carnival of life. It vanishes with the first prick.")

Oh, that's marvellous.
DH and I saw no movies in theatres this weekend, but we did catch Goodbye Lenin on DVD, and it was really very good. Less comic/absurd than we were expecting, and more of a quiet family drama. Very worth watching if you have the time.
