HBO was going to produce a series
based on the trilogy, but they pulled out.
A 10 episode script has been written, I hear, and the writers are still
looking to get the movie made. We’ll
see.
Atwood is one of my favorites, and
this group of books is amazing, even for her.
Dystopian speculative fiction at it’s very best, although it’s odd how
she goes from “fuck” and “cunt” to “wobbly bum” for some of her attempts at
racy language.
On the other hand, I haven’t
bothered watching The Handmaid’s Tale
because the book was such a powerful little self-contained story, and spreading
it out and making up new stuff just seems kind of pointless. Unless you’re looking to generate revenue, I
guess. Ah, well…..
