weird, murakami has always battled the idea of turning that book into a movie. anyway it's probably his most melodramatic and ridiculous novel, i'm not too sure how well it would work as a film. i guess if it's toned down it might work. i'd rather see hard boiled wonderland or windup bird turned into a movie, honestly.
I'm almost done with Wind-Up and thought it would make a great movie about halfway through but I'm not sure now. So much of the novel speaks to things that would be incredibly hard to suggest in film.
I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.
