Possible new JAL movie
This info is very early in the game so future changes are likely.
John Ajvide Lindqvist's terrific short story Border which appeared in the anthology Let The Old Dreams Die reportedly will be turned into a motion picture. Director currently attached to the project is first timer Ali Abbasi. Film is being produced by Nina Bisgaard of Meta Film from Denmark. The film will be a Denmark/Sweden co-production.
Stay tuned for further news.

Wow I didn't expect this, Border is my favourite short story of his.
Re: Possible new JAL movie
Exciting news, of course. But, John, couldn't you go into a long, Eli-like sleep and wake up with the complete adventures of Oskar and Eli between Karlstad and Barcelona?

Nice!
As long as it gets released outside of Scandinavia.

"For a few seconds Oskar saw through Eli’s eyes. And what he saw was … himself. Only much better, more handsome, stronger than what he thought of himself. Seen with love."

But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist

Re: Possible new JAL movie
I'll go to any film based on one of JAL's stories, no questions asked.
'Border'.
Hello, there.
New member, first contribution.
I borrowed a librarycopy of "Let The Old Dreams Die" at the weekend.
Just finished reading the above.
It's excellent !
Dubious about it being turned into a movie, though.
Keep up the great posts ;-O

Welcome to the infected Brian. We are happy to have you. Hope you enjoy your time here
I unfortunately have not yet gotten my hands on a copy of LTODD as of yet ( I know I know I'm a terrible infected ) but more media coming out based on his work is always good news.

I enjoyed reading "LTODD" so much, but I only read one other story in the collection. I've reread the short story several times. It is beautifully written.
I look forward to more of your posts. You're in the right place!
Oh, and you wrote that you are "a terrible infected," but I think you are terribly infected!
