Has anyone heard if the book "Time & Again" will ever be made into a movie?

Years ago. I read a great book called "Time & Again" by Jack Finney. It is about an artist name Si from 1970's NY. Who goes back in time to 1880's NY. Their is a whole goverment plot and mystery. But, what makes this book so interesting is reading about life in 1880's NY. How diffent it was.

Has anyone heard anything about this book possibly being made into a movie?

Yes, if I become a director, this is the movie I will make.

Like you, the main draw was the exploration of what life was really like in New York in the 1880s. Fascinating. The book that did that the best before I read Time was Crichton's The Great Train Robbery. An interesting enough plot, but the best part was the in-depth look at Victorian London.

If you haven't already, you should read the sequel called Time After Time. It's not as good, but it's still worth a read.

Whats amazing to think how different NYC was a little over a 100 years ago. Coney Island/Brooklyn was mainly farm land. And the reason the Dakota hotel/apartments (Where Lenon was killed) was called that. Was that it was the only thing there. And NY'ers thought it was so far away it was in the Dakotas.

It was a source of humor almost 80 years ago. Watch Buster Keaton's Go West, and the opening gag is about Broadway being a dirt road.

Reading this book. Its amazing how much the time travel process was copied in Somewhere in Time.


Also, while I am only 50 or so pages in. This book begs to be made into a movie.
