The Eight

This is a 'trailer' I made for the fictional movie of the novel 'The Eight', by Katherine Neville. For those who haven't read the book, a little synopsis:
it's mainly about the NYC-computerexpert Cath Velis and her friend, chess player Lily Rad, who are trying to find the pieces of a legendary chess service that can provide the one who can figure out the secret formula, the power over the world. This is set in 1973 and Cath & Lily travel to Algeria to find the pieces (hence the desert picture).
The other side of the story is that of the young French woman Mireille, who lives in France of 1793 (the pictures of Paris, 'the death of Marat', Robespierre and Napoleon). She is the one who is set up with the task of protecting and dividing the chess pieces over the world.
Still haven't got a CLUE what's it about? I'd say you search for an summary on the internet or just read the book (I highly recommand it!) Oh, and the eye on the end belongs to Jennifer Connely, the actress I pictured for the role of Cath.

I've just read this book.....very very good.....I loved the surprise at the end.....one of the greatest books I've read

Although the book has been out for quite some time, I only read it this year and I was completely taken by it. Could someone please tell me if theres any chance that it would become a movie? I cant think of a reason why not. It has everything, from romance to adventure and action. And whoever announced that Solarin gets killed in 'The fire' is seriously stupid. This is a video about the eight, and you spoiled all the fun by telling us what happens in the end of its sequel... ANyway, nice video

Do you know if this ever gonna be a movie?

Neville is one of the best writers and her books are amazing.

I have almost finished her second book.

@irenek89 Omg, thats so sad :( Solarin's my fave character...

[soyblakia]

Just finished the sequel - the fire. Loved it :)

[guidoeugene]

ehm, I don't think you have to use such language, though I quite agree with you... But it happens all the way at the beginning of the book, so it's not really a big cliffhanger giveaway
