Opening this Weekend
Two movies based on books open this weekend. Links to the trailers are to the right of the site, under “Books to Movies — Trailers”.
Creation explores how the death of Darwin’s 10-year daughter influenced his view of evolution and religion. It’s based on the book Darwin, His Daughter and Human Evolution by Randal Keynes (the tie-in uses the movie title).
The author was interviewed last night on Fresh Air with Terry Gross (listen to it here).

Been hearing the phrase “I ALREADY work around the clock!” a lot recently? It’s not just a reflection of how pressured people are feeling; it’s a quote from the new Harrison Ford/ Brendan Fraser movie Extraordinary Measures, based on the book The Cure: How a Father Raised $100 Million–and Bucked the Medical Establishment–in a Quest to Save His Children.
If you want to drive yourself nuts, listen to it on its own soundboard; if not, you can hear it in context in the movie trailer.
