snip for those wondering what "Wonderfalls" strongman (and Mutant Enemy superstar) Tim Minear is up to, he's adapting a bigscreen version of Robert A. Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" for producers Mike Medavoy ("Holes") and David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" series). unsnip

Heinlein is my favorite author, and Moon is his best book. With Minear adapting, I think we have a potent combination.

Is it just me, or do others think Alan Tudyk would be ideal to play Manny? And how about Nathan as "Adam Selene"?

Oh, God, PLEASE don't let them screw THIS one up.

I wonder who is directing? Sure wish they'd let Tim direct as well. Maybe this won't start filming until Serenity has won several Oscars and Joss will take the helm. nice thought anyway.

Definitely my favorite RAH novel.

Long overdue for a movie adaptation, IMO.

Dare to dream! Wouldn't it be grand?

That said, MiaHM is excellent reading. Not sure how it will compress all the complexities of the novel into one 2-hour movie tho. Maybe Tim and his Joe's can make it a 3-hour? That'd be cool.
