I have a silly question to ask, does Chuck have anything to do with the new movie coming out based on his book? I like Will Ferrell, he is a real funny character in his own light, but I just do not see the connection he would have to this particular book. Maybe I am missing the bigger picture. Someone enlighten me, please!

i'd say if there was a movie coming out with will farrell based on his books it would be news to everyone here.

Sounds like it could be funny though.

Nah! if they do an HBO mini-series I'd much rather see them do Haunted.
It just seems the more natural fit as a series.
Just imagine, hour long episodes, first fifteen minutes about the overall story leading into a halfhour of whoevers story it is that week, followed by 15 more minutes back into the overall story to lead into the next weeks.
Twenty-three stories in the book. So it would fit perfectly for a two season long mini series
And end the first season after The Nightmare Box, perfect cliffhanger type episode into a second season!
Damn why do they not do this??!

This movie went completely off course from chuck's book. I never did see Will wrestle anyone to make it in the qualifying group for the olympics or anything.
