Film
In 2009 it was announced that a movie adaptation is in development with a screenplay by Frank Lupo and Fred Dryer, to be directed by Frank Lupo for Columbia Pictures, Overture Films and Warner Bros. Pictures.
In October 2009, it was reported that John Travolta would headline the upcoming adaptation playing Hunter and it was confirmed that Jessica Alba will play Dee Dee McCall. In June 2009, Sony Pictures set a tentative release date of October 15, 2010 for the film. Supposedly filming began in Los Angeles in October 2009. However, no real info can be found concerning this movie. Even other reputable sites such as IMDB do not have anything about a 2010 "Hunter" movie, and nothing about it or the characters of Hunter and McCall are listed or mentioned under Travolta or Alba. So, whether or not this movie really is in production is not really known or definite. As of 2012, Sony and Warner Bros. decided to film the movie sometimes in the Spring.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
“A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
