Nancy Drew

This is not officially a book adaptation since I think it falls into the same category as the superhero movies, but it IS Nancy Drew. Who among us hasn't read some Nancy Drew books and imaged ourselves in her roadster (whatever kind of car that is)? The new movie with Emma Roberts starring as Nancy will be out June 15th. The burning question will be: is that really titian blond hair?

Warner Brothers' official website is a little sparse at the moment, but maybe more will be added as we get closer to the release date. The History of Nancy Drew at the Nancy Drew Sleuth Unofficial Website has a lot of information for fans of the series. And check out the tie-in to the California Summer Reading program, Get a Clue.

Inkheart

Cornelia Funke's website has information about the movie version of her book Inkheart. Filming started last November with an expected release date in 2008.
