Tuck Everlasting
I'm looking forward to this movie, though I have no clue when it comes out in theatres (I only saw a poster for it at my local theatre). I read the book a long time ago, but greatly enjoyed it and the questions it raised. I hope they stay with the story and don't change much for the movie version.

It was a pretty interesting book. I hope they don't change the movie around too much.....

Wait, there's going to be a film of this? Why didn't I hear about it before? (Taking into account that I consider myself someone who follows the film biz pretty closely...)

I saw a movie poster for it, but have never read the book or anything and have no clue what it is about. Is the book good?

There was an older (pretty bad) version made around 1980. I'm not sure where you can rent it. The new one will out on October 11.

The theatre where I work did the play Tuck Everlasting many years ago. It remains my favorite play I've ever worked on. It's a great story, and I hope the movie lives up to it's potential.

After seeing a couple of previews, I'm not sure if they're changing the content too much. Sometimes it looks like they're sticking with the book's message on immortatlity and other times, it looks like they're changing it.
Breglad, how was it?

I've never heard of the book and have only seen ads for the movie. Can someone give me a brief idea of the premise?

That, too! But if I read it before seeing it and not enough time passes between the reading and the seeing for me to forget details, I'll be real irritated with any changes made in the movie.
