Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] 2004 movie

What about the 2004 movie "Ripley underground" does anyone have any information that they would like to share about that? 141.157.83.56 12:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ripley Under ground - the book

Personally, I believe that these articles should mostly pertain to the novels, then to how they were interpreted as cinematic works (movies). I removed the following phrase "However it was supposed to come out before the movie version to Ripley's Game" because it makes general assumptions about movie releases based on the order the books were written. Obviously, a movie filmed in 2004 isn't "supposed to come out before the movie version" of ANY film filmed in 2001. Ms. Highsmith, the author of the books, sold the movie rights to each of the books separately, meaning that several movie companies (not one) held the right to make those novels into movies, and there is absolutely nothing preventing them from shooting and releasing them out of sequence or with different actors.

Why would a person do that? Seems a bit odd. Surely the series would be much stronger with one company and one cast of actors making the entire series? Mathmo 05:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
