    interesting, will not be as good as the book, but I will look forward to it. I've read the whole series a couple of times.

    That is why I read, books ALWAYS have more texture, color and depth. If a book is made into a movie, I almost always read the book before (sometimes after) seeing the movie. That way I notice the details that everyone else misses. The books rarely disappoint, unlike the movies. Authors, like J.K. Rowling can make or break a movie with a word, hopefully William Forstchen is willing and able to do the same, demand that the movie does justice to his novel or he will bad mouth it and nobody will go to see it!

    I'm hoping the movie will inspire others to read his and other's books and consider their own preparedness.

    if there's a US shooting location necessary - probably be Georgia - it's become the state of choice outside CA - otherwise it'll be British Columbia project .....

    It would be great filmed in NC. I was an extra in Maximum Overdrive in Wilmington, although I never saw myself in the movie. Guess my ugly mug was left on the cutting room floor.
    As someone who has traveled the Carolinas for work my whole adult life, I have always found it amazing how many times I see a landmark in a movie, even when they are supposedly set somewhere else. Research Triangle Park has to be in a zillion movies.
    And speaking of Maximum Overdrive, it was ahead of its time. Worth watching.

    I loved that movie, especially the end where the alien mothership comes out from behind the comet and is destroyed by the Russian weather satellite!
    PS I was an extra in the movie Gettysburg, part of Longstreet's Assault on the Union Left Center (aka Pickett's Charge).

    Newscum has come back at Trump with a Hollyweird appeal >>> they want tax breaks instead of a tariff - looks like they don't see US job creation like Trump does .....

    Read the book when it came out, and I'm not story reader but it was well written.

    Good book but I'd rather see "Lights Out" made into a movie.

    They would rather see people working minimum wage jobs relying on the Government (and their control) that people making enough money to thrive on their own in factory jobs and companies supporting these factories.
