Xanth
From this week's SciFi Wire comes the news that, "Warner Brothers has bought the film rights to Piers Anthony's fantasy novel series Xanth, to be produced by Wolfgang Petersen and David Benioff, Variety reported. A Spell for Chameleon is the first book in the series, which will see its 30th installment published next year."

Holy cow. I LOVE the first three books in the series -- they were (and remain) wonderful. After the fourth book, they just got progressively sillier and more juvenile, but the first three...wow. Bink has always been one of my favorite fictional characters.
I wonder how the movie is going to be...(sigh)...won't get my hopes up too much. Who will they cast as Bink? Trent? Iris? Oh, Trent will have to be perfectly cast to pull this off.
Damn. I'm excited, but scared.
