Shantaram Movie “in development”
I just learned that there was meant to be made a movie of the novel Shantaram which I am reading and Johnny Depp has been cast as the main character, Lin. It’s been trying to be shot since 2007, but because of the writer’s strike, was put on hold and is still on hold. I don’t know how they’re possibly going to capture a thousand page book in two hours. I think it should actually be a tv show. There’s at least 5 seasons of episodes in that thing, it would just be very difficult to watch sometimes cause some of the things that happen to Lin are terrible. And they damn well better have voice over narration otherwise no one’s gonna get anything out of this movie, there’s just too much to cover.
On the subject of Johnny Depp, I checked out his imdb and he’s slated for ALOT of upcoming movies including Alice in Wonderland (perfect), Sin City 3 (excitement), Pirates of the Carribean 4 (WTF! Really? I thought we were done with that. I know I am)
