Today brought a ton of great news that’s been build­ing for awhile!  Pub­lish­ers Weekly pub­lished the announce­ment that film rights for Black Hole Sun are being pack­aged by Lorenzo di Bonaven­tura Pic­tures! Lorenzo di Bonaven­tura has pro­duced sev­eral huge hits in the last few years, includ­ing STARDUST, RED, SALT, and TRANSFORMERS. Their first film was one of my favorites, CONSTANTINE. There’s more info about the com­pany on their IMDB profile.

So does that mean that a Black Hole Sun movie is com­ing soon to a the­atre near you?  Not that I want to be a wet blan­ket, but no. The process is in its infancy with almost every detail still to be worked out. If this were a rela­tion­ship, it would be at the hand-holding stage. Engage­ment and mar­riage are still a long way off.

Still, it’s fun to think about what the story would look like on the screen. How would Mars be depicted? What do the Draeu look like? Who would play Durango?  Vienne? The Queen?  Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
