IIRC, the book is being split into 2 movies.  This first one covers the
first half of the book, and the 'sequel' has already been given the go
ahead.	I have not been following it closely but I did catch this bit of
info a while ago.

I read this book years ago (15+) and at that time it had the blurb on
the
cover "Soon to be a major motion picture!".
