Hi guys! Another weekend happened to speed by and all too late I’ve realized that I haven’t managed to do half the things I was planning to do. Does that ever happen to you? If not then you are much better planners than I am my friends. Speaking of plans, yet again I’m NYC bound this week, although this is more of a business trip rather than enjoying the sights. No matter, I just hope the weather is decent that I don’t melt in the city. But let us skip further weather talk and instead talk book-to-movie news. Shall we?
Outlander – Jamie Fraser
As you might’ve heard, especially if you are an
Outlander fan,
Starz (TV channel) and
Sony are partnering up to produce an adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s
Outlander book series. And, while all the fans have been absolutely excited about the prospect of seeing the characters come to life on TV, the biggest speculation was about one particular character – Jamie Fraser. Is there such an actor that can become
our beloved Jamie? Well, the question is now settled, as Sam Heughan has been officially cast for the role.
*Squee!*
What do you guys think? After initial hesitation, I am now totally on board with Sam Heughan and think he’ll be wonderful in the role. To his credit, he’s been very generous on Twitter by actively engaging in conversation with both Diana Gabaldon and the numerous
Outlander fans who have bombarded him with tweets ever since the announcement, myself included. So, I just wanted to take a moment and say
“Thank you Sam!” for being so responsive and understanding –
you rock!
