Title: Hearts in Atlantis, a tentative opinion
Review: I have read the novel, Hearts in Atlantis, and it's clear from the trailer that they will only be doing the first and final segments of that book for the film.The actors and the scenes in the trailer appear top notch. However, I am afraid that the movie will not be able to do the book complete justice, as a large portion of the novel, which was written in five segments, each one reflecting a different story. Also, the book ties in very heavily, especially the first segment upon which the film appears based, to Stephen King's great opus, The Dark Tower Saga, which, in and of itself, isn't even complete yet. References to that work would either have to be cut or modified.Ideally, though, Hopkins is an ideal choice to play Ted Brautigan, a man with a secret ability to find the truth in others.
