Crazy Rich Asians Movie

So I guess this is happening... I loved the book so I am excited for this movie.. but I think the Philippine Inquirer jumped the gun on this one as Kris Aquino signed a non-disclosure agreement.  The link doesn't work anymore but it still popped up on my facebook feed.  Here's another article talking about Aquino's "big" Hollywood contract.

I wonder who she will play?  The only Filipino characters mentioned in the book were the Zobel de Ayalas and they are not exactly "oriental" looking, they are Spanish Mestizos.

Anne of Green Gables Gets Big Screen Adaptation

So this popped in my newsfeed.  One of my favorite childhood books is being made into a movie.  I first "met" Anne from a TV Series adaptation.  When I learned that it was based on a book, I bugged my mom to buy it for me.  And then I found out that it it's an 8-series book, so I had to collect all those too.  Which was hard because there were no ebooks yet at that time and not all of it was available at the bookstore that was a boat ride away from where we lived.  It took years for me to collect the whole set.

I do wonder what happened to the actress who played her.
