Like another novel I love that is supposedly being adapted, 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell', I just can't see it working as what makes the book so great is the world that it captures and the way it explores it, rather than the plot.
I'd worry for an adaptation of Strange and Norrell. Since much of that book works because it has that early 19th century touch to it, that will get lost in adaptation. You can't just "pride and prejudice" it. It is also not plain fantasy. Needs a really good director to pull this on off. Guillermo del Torro? Since The Hobbit is put in the freezer, he might be available for this.
WWZ is also a tough adaptation. Just doing it as the bunch of interviews as in the book wouldn't make much of a movie.

Man, I'm not happy about this Brad Pitt news. He's the only reason I didn't get Basterds 5 stars
anyway, they are going to need one hell of a screenwriter to adapt the novel to the big screen. If they take LOTS of notes from Waltz With Bashir, they should be fine. That's how you turn tons of interviews into a movie
