Outlander - Part One

I think that Emily Blunt would be a perfect Claire...

really?? I haven't seen much of Emily's work, but she has a very controlled, suppressed feel, and Claire's wilder than that.

You need to watch more of Emily's work than. Emily is far from any of those things. She is a amazingly talented actress who I think could best bring Claire to the screen. Most of the actresses I have seen are WAY to prissy to be Claire.

The movie isn't out yet. :( but It IS in the works. The projected date is some time in 2011. Probably to coincide with her Graphic novel release. IDK just guessing but I do know her Graphic is due out that year as well. Her seventh book in the series,"Echo in The Bone"is on shelves as of today!

Is the Outlander movie you're referring to from the Diana Gabaldon books? The trailers I've seen for an Outlander film are for some other thing, about Vikings in the 700's...not Jamie and Claire....

yes Diana wrote a little abput it on her website. The directpor, screenwriter and the movie company have been selected but thats as far as they've gotten.

oooohh, that's great!! I hope it really gets off the ground and gets made!

I have just finished reading Drums of Autumn, it was brilliant.

Being from Inverness, what i don't get however is the way she portrays Roger to speak. Invernesians do not speak like that. We have a horrible, nasal, soft accent. I know reading what she writes, and what it's supposed to sound like are maybe 2 different things, but it has been bugging me.

Fair enough Jamie speaking like that, since he was from the 1700s, but Roger was from the 1900s.

Roger was raised for the first part of his life elsewher, so maybe his accent was different. So very cool that your from inverness, I do love this series
