I have a silly question to ask, does Chuck have anything to do with the new movie coming out based on his book? I like Will Ferrell, he is a real funny character in his own light, but I just do not see the connection he would have to this particular book. Maybe I am missing the bigger picture. Someone enlighten me, please!

Thanks for the info...I was quick to second guess that it was in relation to the book he wrote, however I thought I would ask, since I wasnot sure.

Doesn't sound much like the book-

Sounds like it could be funny though.

[QUOTE=l0ki]it would make a great mini-series on hbo or something... like a different director for each episode.

if it ever happens... IT WAS MY IDEA damnit![/QUOTE]
Nah! if they do an HBO mini-series I'd much rather see them do Haunted.
It just seems the more natural fit as a series.
Just imagine, hour long episodes, first fifteen minutes about the overall story leading into a halfhour of whoevers story it is that week, followed by 15 more minutes back into the overall story to lead into the next weeks.
Twenty-three stories in the book. So it would fit perfectly for a two season long mini series
And end the first season after The Nightmare Box, perfect cliffhanger type episode into a second season!
Damn why do they not do this??!

This movie went completely off course from chuck's book. I never did see Will wrestle anyone to make it in the qualifying group for the olympics or anything.
