TOMORROW WHEN THE WAR BEGAN: THE MOVIE.

This is going to be so. awesome. If you've not read these books- I'm looking at you, non-Aussies- track down at least the first one and give it a look before the movie comes out. Growing up, I was in love with these books. We read the first one in English in year 8, and within a month there was a mile-long waiting list at the library for the other six in the series. I got in early, being a quick reader *smug*. I wonder if the Leeming High School libraray still have that hardcover copy of book 7 that's signed by John Marsden.
Hey, Corrie is Wendy from that Peter Pan movie with Jason Issacs! And the screenplay and direction are by the same guy who did Pirates of the Carribean! Yay, let's start playing Degrees of Separation!

This has totally made my day - omg. I have been waiting for these bloody books to become a movie since I first read them back in year 6/7. AWESOME.

LOL. That was one of my first thoughts too!

That will be amazing! I love that series so much!

I think the person they cast for Kevin was a mistake, though - I definitely pictured someone far less baby-faced in that role!

Kevin looks kind of like my sister's boyfriend. And a hobbit. My mental image of Kevin was like Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove, but in jeans and a flannelette shirt.

Homer's a lot better-looking than I was expecting. I never pictured any of the characters as stunningly good-looking, but damn. I thought I remembered Fi being blonde, but meh. And Robyn is dead-on how I pictured her.

ETA: Huh, turns out Fi is blonde after all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjV8omPt2kQ).
