Thanks to the judges for their frank, thoughtful & fantastic examinations.
Agree with NE that I didn't point out much of necessary changes for a screen adaptation as I thought it'd better if it stick truthful to the original source as much as possible. Additionally I think this sort of children adventures (which they made rarely these days) always has an appeal to the audiences of all ages worldwide. Now why did I chose Frank Darabont for the writing & directing it? First of all, why not? Mr. Darabont is one of the finest directors in Hollywood today who is a master of portraying any good human tale of love, loss, betrayal & friendship with the required emotional appeal all over and also an expert to blend with it or handle the supernatural elements perfectly. After films like Shawshank, Green Mile, Majestic & Mist from him I think it'd be an interesting project for him to work with. As the heart of McCammon's Boy's Life got a somewhat similar kind of appeal of some Stephen King's as well as even Ray Bradbury's works. A children mystery-adventure set on 60's America will be an easy but intriguing challenge for him.
Our honored judge#3, Mr. President made a very good point that I like to agree also...yeah, a miniseries for the tv would be better as it got so much sub plots & events occurring one after another but the thing is personally I always like to prefer the big screen for this sort of stories & plus a Frank Darabont treatment will surely be awesome to see, IMO.
Thank you, judges. Hope to come up with a better performance next time.:)
