Ed Zwick to direct Lions of Al-Rassan

Lions of Al-Rassan is one of my favorite novels. A somewhat fantastical re-telling of the Spanish Reconquista.

Ed Zwick was the co-creator of Thirtysomething, and the director of The Last Samurai. He also directed Glory. So he can make good looking movies with big stories.

Vera Blasi, tabbed to write the script, previously wrote two movies about chefs, neither of which I've seen.

I think the news that these two will be adapting Lions to the screen is good news. I certainly hope I'm right.
