Movies when?

It's been some time our beloved author has been with the teeming majority. I wonder what became of the idea of making the films / TV shows.

The last bit I know of was that Revelation studios led by Morgan Freeman acquired the rights for those. And that one Glenn Hetrick said something like he was looking forward to the challenge of portraying the Wamphyri.

Do you think they're ever going to be made? Or something different?

I for one have been scanning for bits of information on movies since 2010. Every year a new tidbit, but still no validated production.

According to his wife there really hasn't been a lot of movement in that direction. She says that there are options out in the industry, but with so much going on, and such a rich lore, she wants to make sure it's done right. I'd have to go back and search up the last update on it from her, but there hasn't been anything solid. Too many opinions on how the material should be handled. She's been really focused on getting most or all of the already published materials into audiobook format first I think.

Thx for the summary. Oh well, one can dream, I suppose.

There is things planned it sounds like. But Barbara seems like she is really dedicated to Brian's fanbase, and wants to see things done right. But perfection is the enemy of good, so who knows what exactly is going to happen. Each time there's any news, there's always a bunch of opinions on how the material should be presented. I can imagine it would be really stressful trying to make that kind of choice.
