SRD's Website wrote:A production company called Fully Loaded Pictures LLC has just purchased a 12-month renewable option to develop a film or films based on the GAP novels. The agreement covers all five GAP books, so I think we can safely assume that Fully Loaded Pictures does not intend to squeeze the enTIRE story into one movie. As is usual in these situations, the contract covers every conceivable eventuality, ranging from one half-hour cartoon in a non-English-speaking TV market to an endless franchise of "major motion pictures." But the (privately) stated hope of Fully Loaded Pictures is to tell the whole story in three films. I've agreed to "consult" with the producers on a very limited basis.

Best. News. Ever.

I'm going to go cry for a while. And then reread the Gap.

So...do I smell a new Forum for the Watch? Heh.

But there's no hero !! I think there needs to be a Gap cult out there that makes the gap series cool.

Can't wait to see how they butcher it. Guess the casting threads will liven up...

I think it's a fact that they're going to screw it up.

But maybe the Gap is one of those things so awesome, that even if they only get 10% of it right, it'll still be awesome.-jay

Since I never could get through TRS, maybe now I'll get to see what all the fuss is about.

nice bit of (hopeful) news there.
althoguh I cannot find any concrete info on this "Fully Loaded Pictures LLC" company....
On the bad side, it means they are a small guy and won't have great backing.
On the good side, if they are small, they must have some sort of passion for SRD's work ifthey picked this...

Just start from Forbidden Knowledge. You can always go back to The Real Story if you don't understand, but it's unlikely that you'd need to.

Finish it. It's a short novel (novella), and yes it has some harsh parts, but grin and bear it! When you reach FK, especially Enablement Station, you'll realise you should have continued a long time ago.

Finish it.

Guess i better read these then aye? I've still never seen them in a bookstore though. I may have to Amazon them.

So far I have only found that Fully Loaded Pictures has made one movie, called Edmond [link].

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2007 1:33 pm**

I will NOT be seduced by hope!!!

Good news, but I doubt it'll happen.
