A moment from a screenplay:

EXT. SCHOOL -- AFTERNOON

The door into the playground cracks softly open. Kit peers out, 
looks around. Then he slips out, followed by Nita.

From around the corner of the building, Joanne and her crowd emerge. 
Nita and Kit pause, look at each other. Then, together, they head 
toward Joanne and her gang. 

A "High Noon" moment: the two factions move toward each other, Nita 
and Kit grim and determined, Joanne and her bunch furious and bent on 
revenge. As they close -- 

A REALLY BIG BANG of displaced air -- and, out on the playground, a 
LEAR JET (with its engines idling) APPEARS out of nothing and DROPS 
a couple of feet to the ground. Everyone stops right where they are, 
staring. 

                      KIT
              (astonished, impressed)
        What. The.

Joanne's gang, also astounded, do what everyone else in the area does: 
they run over to look at the jet. Joanne, angry, goes after her posse.

                      JOANNE
              (to Nita)
         Later. Believe me.

Nita and Kit glance at each other, then at the still-flickering Fred 
as he REAPPEARS between them. 

                      KIT
         Fred! Nice going.

                      FRED
               (sounds sick)
         I saw them, so I exerted myself a little. 
         Can we go now?

                      NITA
         Yeah.

They head off around the corner of the building. Kit glances back 
at the playground, full of the vast assortment of Fred's emissions.

                      KIT
         What're they gonna do with all that stuff?

                      NITA
               (shrugs)
         Ebay?

They hurry O.S.

You know, if you'd asked me yesterday I'd have said there was no way to improve on that book, and maybe there isn't, but you've convinced me that a movie is a great idea.

I'm utterly thrilled at the idea of a movie being made... except for the part of me that used to dream of directing it. =\

Brilliant.

I'll get started. When you get a chance, can you email me (mailto:marymoline@gmail.com) the address you'd like them sent to.

Cheers.

Kicking the script into the correct shape is going to be difficult, but it will work.

That was my reply, word by word, before I actually wrote it.

I'm very glad that I read the comments before commenting myself! :)

A movie? Really?? Awesome!

Man, first Ice & Fire, and now this! This is a great day for fantasy novel-related movie news.

Nothing official yet. I've got the screenplay, that's all.

AMAZING. I'm so freaking Happy-with-a-capital-H right now.

Happy when I should be doing Statistics.

In any case, all the YW fans are going to FREAK.

UP WITH FRED.

Hopethey choose decent actors then. The quality of the child can make or break the film!

Good luck!

I'm smiling so hard I think I might scare my roommates! Ooh, best screenplaying wishes your way - I have no idea what the ups and downs of the process are so I quite happily leave those details to you.

Yay! Hopes of this to come, and Golden Compass later this year if all goes well. [Here's hoping my favourite books become my favourite movies!]
