Imagine both films coming out in 2009! I just hope that BB includes Enrico Caruso's concert the very night before the quake, and the way the Chinese were treated. So many possibilities. The casting will be interesting. And what will the poster look like....? I’m certain that Bird’s vision of SF in ‘06 will be authentic,

A pretty strong story -- I bet it will be a big hit, especially internationally. It's got all the right elements -- an intelligent, resourceful hero, a smart and strong female co-lead, special effects and plenty of gangsters and corrupt politicians. As a San Franciscan, I'm really looking forward to seeing this on the big screen.

Actually, I haven't read the book, but plan to pick it up this week. I've heard nothing but great things about it. I also trust that Brad Bird can't make a bad film, and he has the record to prove it. Jezzus: the real estate market (or any antique market for that matter) never makes any sense.

There is a huge crack that offsets the top of the fireplace, and continues up the wall into his bedroom. I aske him why he doesn't get it fixed and he said that the person that sold him the house said it makes the house more valuable. WTF?!?! To me it's more of a reminder of what didn't happen before and could eventually (most likely in our lifetime) happen again. The storyline is sounding a little bit Dante's Peak-ish Peter. what do you think? A good friend actually own a house that was damaged in this quake.
