Children of Men

[rm]

Why haven't I heard anything about this?
Does it even have an American release date scheduled yet?

ETA: Of course, since I rarely see films in general release anymore, I rarely see previews anymore. Duh.

Let me expand.

The book is spectacular, though I understand that the movie is pretty much not the book. The book gave me the same feel as Paul Auster's In the Country of Last Things (which, I think, you introduced me to), although perhaps because they were both so incredibly dystopic.

I am not usually a visual person, and for the most part books give me a sense of plot and place but I very rarely remember a book as if it were a movie. This is not the case with this book. I have a very strong sense of having watched the action, and will therefore probably not see the movie.
