There is so much good attached to this. From a genius writer to the director responsible for the brilliant first season of Heroes. The only issue is the translation from book to screenplay, which is why HBO dropped it or Neil decided to leave because HBO wanted changes that he didn't like (
his words) so there is that promise. I read the book so long ago that I forgot the details. I just remembered how much I loved its creativity. I might have to jump back on it as a refresher.
Here is a neat write up by a friend of mine.
