Diana's comments on a possible OUTLANDER movie
Diana Gabaldon has posted a new blog entry with her response to all the rumors and speculations that have been flying around lately regarding the possibility of an OUTLANDER movie.
You can read what she says here. Very interesting stuff, and I would urge you to take a look at it. (Feel free to comment here, if you want.)
My take on it: She's right that the project is still at a fairly early stage, and people shouldn't assume that it will definitely happen. Also, we have Absolutely No Idea at this point who they are considering for the major roles. All the talk about Gerard Butler, Keira Knightley, and James McAvoy notwithstanding, the fact is that everyone is speculating, and no one but the casting director actually knows who they have in mind.
I'm actually relieved that Diana doesn't want to get too involved with the movie. It would take away far too much time from her writing, and that would be bad for all of us.
