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".
