the wrong box


so I called both of you but neither picked up. I found a first edition copy (from 1889!!!) of THE WRONG BOX. oh am was I excited (not really sure if anyone other than us would be so thrilled about it since I am pretty sure no one else has either seen the movie or heard of the book as it is more obscure robert louis stevenson). I think it is ready for a remake!! (oh young michael caine, how awesome you were!)

YES she would be perfect. I kinda want to cast Lee Pace in the Michael Caine role because I feel he can do that kind of humor. Question becomes should it remain British, or make it American? And how to update the humor a little so people get it without completely destroying it? Anyways, am so thrilled with my book find. I looked up how much it goes for online and its worth up to $350! so $45 is kind of a steal!
