i’m a great skeptic about books being made into movies. i suppose its because there is always some rumor or other about a book being adapted for a movie, some may finally reach the silver screen albeit quite poorly (the Dark Is Rising movie has earned fans' scorn, i've heard), while others are become blatant marketing ploys to get the bookstores to stock more. (Spiderwick is doomed for the big screen, it seems. Check out the ridiculous new covers on ALL the books!)

But I stumbled on this tidbit. Yutaka Takenouchi, that handsome Japanese actor, will be starring in a new film, his first in 6 years. Directed by Togashi Shin, it is based on Wenny Has Wings by Janet Lee Carey. The movie is slated for May 2008 release. Miki Mizuno will co-star.
How’s that for a little difference?
