Phil Lord and Chris Miller ("21 Jump Street") are trying to bring "Carter Beats the Devil" to the big screen. Tom Cruise was interested in this project some time ago, but his option apparently lapsed and so did the film. Now, still snoozing at Warner Brothers, the movie project has caught the attention of Mr. Lord and Mr. Miller, whose film "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" was a huge success in 2009. More here from the Hollywood Reporter.
I do think they ought to bring this to the big screen. I loved Carter Beats the Devil and I'm sure they'll bring something new to the film version. But I still want them to stay true to the novel.

Now this is what I have been waiting to happen for a long time now. Carter Beats the Devil is one epic novel and it's great if people like Tom Cruise will take p[art in it.
