Blake Back in Black? Big things on the horizen…

Ok, now I normally don’t get all hyped up about the new Anita Blake novel. I pretty much stopped reading in the middle of Blue Moon, and I won’t go into the details. If you’re a fan, then you’ll know why. But there was something about this new piece of news that made me want to jump out of my chair and yell with excitement – waking up my suite mates in the process.

Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter is apparently good to go on a made-for-TV movie

This is big news. But is it big enough to garner a sufficient amount of interest from the viewers? Some people wrote on their facebooks saying how they had never heard of Anita, and that they weren’t sold on the premis given by the producers. While I respect people who don’t give in to all the crap that comes out everyday, you also have to realize that the announcement was only posted today, and there will obviously a PR campaign for this project. Considering the level of fame that Laurell K. Hamilton has gained from her books, this will most deffinetly be handeled very well, considering that the studios working on it are Lionsgate, After Dark Films, and was adapted by Glen Morgan (“X-Files”).

All I’ll say is that I’m interested to see what they come up with, but I don’t have high hopes for it. Just look at waht happened to Watchmen.
