David's life is so big that it cannot be diminished into a single movie. Sometimes I fear that 3 movies won't do the story justice. This page will be constantly updated with thoughts about the movie project, tid-bits on the central characters that people may not have realised through the usual, cursory readings. As with other pages on this blog, it will usually be updated as thoughts are placed on the blog proper.
As to the structure of the trilogy, here is the basic overlay as it currently stands (with current working titles).

Random Facts
