Well, uber-Hollywood producer, Jerry Bruckheimer is - according to Variety - "tapping J. Michael Straczynski to adapt" it into a movie.
J. Michael Straczynski who? Well, J. Michael wrote episodes of Murder She Wrote, Babylon 5, Walker Texas Ranger; he also penned The Changeling starring Ms Angelina Jolie.

As far as Babylon 5 goes, as well as creating the show, Straczynski wrote 92 of the 110 episodes, including the entire third and fourth seasons, something he claims has never been done before. That's a bit more than "wrote episodes of".

I nearly fell off the floor when I saw JMS' writing credit at the end of The Changeling. The quality of the dialogue alone was miles better than the stuff he wrote for B5, which I often felt lacked subtlety or credibility. I guess the ability to hone a couple of hours' script, versus hundreds of hours might have help. Maybe I'm just smarting from the horror that was "The Lost Tales" spinoff...
