One of my all time favourite books is being turned into a movie, and I am incredibly excited...
The book is called 'Norwegian Wood' (yup, the Beatles song) and is by my favourite writer, Haruki Murakami. It takes the lead character back to the 60's Japan to his most significant relationship and re-lives it in all its glory. A love story set within surreal, dream like prose, *sigh* I love it.
The film will be interesting....I'm excited to see how they will transfer Murakami's writing style to the big screen, but also worried it won't do the book justice.
Either way, I'm going to have to see it and report back :)
Here's the trailer:
Also while we're on the subject- I stumbled across some amazing illustration by Emmeline Pidgen and whilst perusing her lovely blog, I noticed she has drawn a design for the Norwegian Wood film, take a look....
She's recently had the designs printed as postcards and they are simply stunning- will have to get my hands on one :)
Any good films you guys are excited to see?

I cant believe its out today! It's my favourite book too, and I thought, oh, the trailer, I didnt check it out.
I guess I'm scared of being disappointed! Will it be good enough?
Oh so many people have spoke to me about Haruki Murakami's books and said i should really read one, I think i may have a little browse on amazon at them now after seeing this triler!
Oh you should- Norwegian Wood is my favourite of his but he also does great short stories, very surreal but always beautiful :)
