Also, DO NO HARM, Jekyll & Hyde, premieres on the 31st.
I love how Hollywood keep turning books into movies or shows. Seeing your favorites on the big screen or television is always exciting (if it's done well) because it makes it feel that much more real. The one I'm most excited about is Delirium! Thanks for sharing.
