Just as long as the birds look nothing like that picture on the book we'll be good. If they do I will be there for the laughfest.

Kind of reminds me of those birds from 10,000 B.C.

I am with Smith, the "From Hell" movie was lousy. The comic was so much better.

Doesn't the Sci-fi channel have enough of this fodder already?

So nobody noticed these giant prehistoric birds running around the Everglades until now? Ooookay.

I'm definitely not saying there are giant prehistoric birds in the Everglades but it's pretty damn arrogant to assume humans have seen everything on this planet, we know more about space than the bottom of the ocean for fucks sake. I'm definitely rootning for the giant birds.

it should stay a book

I don't know how the book is but maybe this will be alright if it's like Jurassic Park. Could be a fun adventure sci-fi movie. Might be even better if they make it a little more on the "Horror" side of things.

As corny as it may be, I really dig movies like this.

The cover art suggests that this is a species of "terror bird" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_bird) formerly of the pampas. Without a mammalian superpredator available in the Cenozoic (wolf, bear, lion), South America evolved a bird to fill the role. Nice ... but even by boneheaded Hollywood standards it's hard to defend sticking a beast built for the savanna into the Everglades.

Sounds Good!
