Ben Okri - Do you see your books being translated into film?

[OmoOvie]

I'd love someone like Tarsem Singh (The Fall, The Cell) to interpret Ben's work on film. I think that's the only director that would interpret his work well. Tarsem has this thing with images, colours and dream landscapes and cerebral...I can't find the word(s) that would work great with a Ben Okri story! IMHO.

Wonderful Ben!

Astonishing The Gods would surely make an incredible film and teach us so much about how we feel about our lives.

The book is a masterpiece..

a film,with Bens guidance would surely also have the same devastating effect.
