So apparently this is happening, and they got Mila Jovovich too.
Certainly interesting. These stories are good - in particular I like In The Lost Lands a fair bit. However, I'm not entirely sure yet how the movie will include all three stories - they have some tenuous thematic connections, but mostly they are about different settings and have different emotional tones. I'm hoping that the movie will actually feature three separate stories that it will hop between (thinking of Cloud Atlas) and not attempt to make all three stories into the same one. The second option seems somewhat nonsensical.
