Earthsea

[liadnan]

Just saw that Studio Ghibli have an Earthsea film (fairly clearly an adaptation of The Farthest Shore) coming out this July. After the mini-series fiasco (which I admit I never felt the urge to see, but everyone I know who did was appalled) my immediate instinct is scepticism, but Studio Ghibli have a deservedly high reputation.

Apparently, Orson Scott Card has run into similiar problems in his quest to make the "Ender's Game" movie. He wants the demographics of the kids at the Battle School to mirror those of the world as a whole; Hollywood apparently feels that that's too many Brown People for one movie. :-P
