Can someone explain why this great book by Shiner was never picked up for cinematic treatment???
At least the SMiLE rescue scenarios were incorporated into the 'Daft Beach Movie' - for what it's worth... Oh yes I know:
NOT a whole lot.
Possibly because for a cinematic treatment it would require a large budget like the kind that Hollywood blows freely, and let's face it, Hollywood only RE-makes movies these days. When is the last time you've seen anything original come out of here???
Wes Anderson and Michael Gondry movies!
