Default War Horse - the movie

This looks like a great move for horse lovers. Coming out around Christmas.

Directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, with music by John Williams, and a horse as the main character . . .

I'll definitely see it. First, I'll read the book.

Maybe Spielberg will next consider doing a movie about Snowman.

The media campaign for War Horse has begun in earnest. I keep seeing advertisements on TV.

I read the book last night, and all the while I kept imagining how the movie would treat certain key moments. The potential is there for a really special horsey movie, as well as one that elicits some wet eye moments. This is one that I will definitely see on the big screen.

maybe they could make a movie on comanche of the 7th. read that book back in elem school, and still remember the story.
comanche is on display at the u of kansas natural history museum.
