Paulo Coelho finally agreed to have his book the Alchemist be made into a movie by the Weinstein Company. I am excited about the movie, Laurence Fishburne will be involved in the said movie. I am just praying that the movie would deliver the kind of message the book has delivered.

Hi! When will the production and the shooting times be over? I didnt know this bit so Im really thankful that I read this. I really loved the book and yeah I agree with you the I have high hopes for the movie since the book has become a classic for me. ITs one of the must read books of all times. I really hope that the movie becomes one of the must see movies of all time. I guess I shouldnt expect much so I wont be disappointed when the time comes. Anyways, I cant wait til the movie gets here in our area. Thanks again for the info.^_^

Really? I'm looking forward to it... Like you I am praying that they will give justice tho the book... Let it be... The book is so amazingly wonderfully, the movie should portray it that way also.
