(This is a slightly updated copy of a blog posting dated January 18th, 2007.)

I thought I'd better post this now before things get out of hand.

Lots of people have mailed me over the years to say "There oughta be a movie..." based on one or more of the Young Wizards novels. This has been a possibility I've had my eye on literally since the first book was published. Over the years, various independent producers have occasionally optioned the first book in the series with an eye to shopping it around the studios. However, that's all that ever happened: shopping.

That said, times change and the world shifts.
