| Re: A Spell for Chameleon Sanityassassin - I moved your thread out of the Terry Pratchett subforum and to the General Media forum for two reasons, 1. It is regarding a possible upcoming film so fits there better than with the books and 2. A Spell for Chameleon was written by Piers Anthony  |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon wow, i actually heard that he had optioned the Incarnations books and that the first of that would be out soon, but i hadn't heard anything about Xanth. personally i hope they just do Xanth and NOT Incarnations. the movie climate right now is certainly right for Xanth.... |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon i've not read Harry Potter or LOTR so i can't really comment on them, but i thought Narnia did justice to the books beautifully. i think Xanth would do well as a movie, but really it's all dependent on the director and the casting. |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon I remember reading A Spell for Chameleon in my junior year in college - I just fell in love with that book! And subsequently, the ones thereafter, and have been a Piers Anthony fan since. To think there might be a movie about one of my favs gives me chills! Any info about the movie is much appreciated! -g- |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon i think i read the first 5 books but not the rest. i'm really excited about a Xanth movie too, and i know the books are really popular, or were in their time, so it could be quite successful. |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon Well considering there's I think 31 books in the series to date (Air Apparent to be published in 2006), making the Xanth series into films could be a lifelong occupation/achievement for whoever decided to tackle it....  |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon lol! well from memory the first 2 books involve bink (i think that was his name) and the next two involve his son, so maybe they are planning on making two or four of them? because they could easily cut it off after two or four... |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon I seem to recall that a lot of the Xanth books tend have a main chracter who is decendant of someone from previous stories, hence it would do really well as a sequence of movies, the actors would be allowed to grow old gracefully and not worry about having to remain eternally young to look the part. Loved the Xanth books in my junior years. |

| Re: A Spell for Chameleon would love to see the xanth books made into movies not sure how some of the puns would work out. I remember introducing my wife to them. i think she spent it seemed a good bit of that summer reading all of them. |
