The Film Experience book club is returning. Hell, I figure I'm turning the pages anyway. Reading is a great subway activity and we New Yorkers spend much time on subways. So why not hold those monthly weigh-ins with readers about 'who should play who?' in imaginary movie versions of novels. We've done this a few times in the past: the historical fantasy The Curse of Chalion, the corporate satire/drama Then We Came to the End and one play August: Osage County. The latter turned out to be one of the biggest comment threads ever (109!) at TFE .So, the next selection will be Scar Night by Alan Campbell. I'm about a fifth of the way in and have already met enough interesting characters to make it a worthwhile casting discussion. So, if you like fantasy novels, pick it up and read this month. We'll discuss casting on Wednesday, June 30th. This is a debut novel which takes place in the chained city of Deepgate (it's a bit steampunk flavored) and stars two very different angels (the last of their kind), a sinister theocracy, and all sorts of secretive unsavory business and dark magic. An intriguing read so far.

This feature isn't so regular. How about casting a Thomas Pynchon novel? (Probably not for a movie but instead, let's say, for a quick moving non-renewable 22 episode single season TV series. Cast Size: 80-200 characters.)
i know i know. but i do read a book every month or so so i figured... let's try it again.
My reading list! My reading list! I'm gonna stab myself.
that's not advised unless you're a quick healing angel.
I love the concept of the series but I am a lazy reader and I have yet to finish many other books but I would like to read the discussion.
To be honest I would prefer it to be a non-fantasy novel.
well like i said. i'm reading it anyway. whoever wants to join me can ;)
I personally would love to see another play done sometime soon :)
When I first saw the image I thought it was a cropped picture entitled Oscar Night. I thought. well this is a different take on Oscar awards. But, SCAR night, okay. Sounds interesting.
It's obvious that Nathaniel's subconscious urged him to pick that book from the shelf :p
it's true!
