so...apparently...

the people making the movie know nothing of the dead?

[Benthegoodbum]

thats pretty sad...why buy the rights to books to make a movie about a guy you hardly know of besides probably in namesake only.

[squire758]

you guys already made guitar picks, lets make our own Dead movie, and then they can cancel "malcom in the middle" to show it. corporate takeover here people, who's in?

Well that's kinda older news and I've not heard anything since. But sometimes a fresh persepctive is much better than an old one. I remember when I first got into the GD I read everything I could on them prolly 4 or 5 books in the first 2 years.

I thumb threw a few now but don't think I've read any book besides Phil's since then (14 years back).

What's with basing the story on two books that nobody has even heard of- at least I haven't; anyone ever hear of either ofthese books before?

[jck_strw]

"Captain Trips" and "One More Saturday Night"? Yup, I've heard of them and read both. They're older (pre-death of Jerry and the Grateful Dead).

Much better books have come along since, but they were alright.
