"Memoirs of a Geisha" is slated to be made into a movie. The beautiful Chinese girl from "Crouching Tiger etc." I believe is scheduled for the lead.
Posted by: SusanG on July 5, 2005 09:38 AMWhere the Wild Things Are and other Maurice Sendak stories are on DVD. I bought it for my li'l girl and she ate it up wanting more. I thought it wasn't appropriate for her to watch so I kept the DVD.

Posted by: bernadette on July 5, 2005 04:15 PMI have been DYING to see "Memoirs" made into a movie. A few years ago, Spielberg was supposed to do it, the Spike Jones... but now, supposedly, Columbia Pictures is looking at December for a release date?? Hope somebody actually is doing it, and doing it well. One of my all time favorite books. I have not read Red Tent yet, but it's on my Amazon Wish List. I really need to get that.
Oh, here, I found a webby...
