Not sure how I feel about a Holes adaptation but hopefully they don’t try to recreate the film, it’s pretty perfect as it is! The author has other content so I’m hoping they lean into that.

I hope dog man is like captain underpants MY

I would like and update on the Maid adaptation if possable

[lizbradley]

I love Holes it was a great book and movie the only difference from the book and movie was the size of the main character

[Leo-Galaxy]

If they're gonna make that many changes to Holes, then why bother adapting it? Just make something new, or pick a different book that hasn't been adapted yet.

I feel like fantasy adaptations are really lacking in the last few years. Even if they get picked up, they also get scraped really often. I hope this year we get a few more. I miss these big epic fantasy movies that came out 10-20 years ago
