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:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
—V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
