Well, maybe we could get Diana Ossana hooked on E&E so she'll write the screenplay!

I think Louise would do a fine job of writing the screenplay. She has the dialog down pat and the story is there. The problem will be how to condense the story (even if we do it as each book as a movie) into 120+ minutes. This is the challenge the Harry Potter folks faced...taking a very full, complete, and rich story and figuring out which elements were essential to translate it into a movie.

Well, I had suggested Diana Ossana only because she has the right connections already with Ang Lee,  James Shamus (at Focus Features)  and Heath.  :)

that's okay David, I forgive you    ;)
