I have been hoping for a long time that the Anita Blake books would either be made into movies or a tv series, and now my wish has come true.
IFC and Laurell K Hamilton have announced that Guilty Pleasures will be adapted for a TV movie. Production will start this summer. And if the movie is successful, the network plans to adapt more of the books into movies as well.
How exciting! I just hope they do it right and capture what we love from the series. I am very curious to see which actors they choose to play the parts, especially Anita and Jean-Claude. Will they use well known actors or newcomers?
What do you think?

I can't wait for this to happen! I am a very big fan of this series and can't wait to see what they come up with for the tv movie.
Im really excited about it but im also alittle scared they are gearing it for men when yes guys read the books but women are the majority so im not sure how it will work out heres hoping!
just started reading the series so far i think they are great from what i have read. i saw guilty pleasures in the book store and read the first few lines on the back of the book and said yes im going to buy this it looks interesting. and im so glad i bought it.
it would be awesome for this series to be made into a movie. can't wait.
Movie not gonna happen. Check LKH's blog.. she canceled it.
What do I think? I think it scares the living crap out of me. Hollywood has a history of screwing things over. And I'm going to be so mad if they blow it. This is one of my favorite book series of all time. I seriously can't think of a single person that could EVER act Jean-Claude properly. Jean-Claude needs to be beautiful, but not feminine. He needs to drip with charisma, the kind of person who can look at you and make you melt. There are very very few people that can do that in this world and still act.
I truly hope this happens!! I would love to see all the books in a movie version!!! Although I must say I hope they cast unknowns for the parts - it is always better that way. Well know actors put a pre-conceived notion in your head.
I've read the series from Book 1. Also gotten into the Meredith Gentry universe. I do hope they pick some good actors. I hate it when the movie fails to capture the essence of the book.
Also still waiting for the Ender's Game movie.
I would love to see who plays Jean-Claude. I am an avid fan of Laurell K Hamilton. You can check out some of my reviews on her Anita Blake series as well as Merry Gentry at www.read-that.com
when is this happening???
Really! Can you keep us updated on when and where we would be able to catch these? Thanks!
This was a long time ago;sadly Ms. Laurel dropped the idea three years ago, so there isn't going to be a movie any time soon... Though she is working on the 22nd book in the Anita Blake series and is about to make the comic version of Lunatic Cafe...
