"Pillars of the Earth" on Starz

"Pillars of the Earth" on Starz.  Is my memory that bad or is this rather different from the novel?



I must admit, if An Involuntary King or any subsequent novels of mine ever make it to Hollywood, I will probably regret reinterpretation all the way to the bank.

Sadly I will not see this, as we don't have Starz at home, or even much in the line of cable TV. But I expect it will be out on DVD soon enough. In the meantime, I hope you all will let me know what you thought.

  1. OMG!! Pillars of the Earth is absolutely one of my favorite books, but I highly doubt that the movie will follow the book! Even though, I would still have loved to have seen it, but unfortunately we don't have Starz or Encore either, boo :(

  2. The best advice I ever heard on this subject was from Tony Hillerman. If anyone ever wants to make your book into a movie, take the money and run. Do not act as a consultant or hang around the set worrying if they are going to screw it up -- because they will.
