Film Adaptation
Initially, it was planned to be adapted into a feature film starring Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Bacon, with Stacy Title in the director's chair, however the project never came to fruition. Then in April 2008, IGN.com reported that a successful movie adaptation would be restarted in May that year. It was directed by Jeff Beesley, scripted by Richard Dooling and starred Christian Slater as Dolan, Wes Bentley as Robinson, and Emmanuelle Vaugier as Robinson's wife. The film was shot in Regina and Moose Jaw. J-pop idol Crystal Kay performed its theme song, "Hold On".

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or adaptation:
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
