Memoirs of a Geisha

Anyone else as excited to see the movie in December?? I just saw a trailer for it and it looks phenominal! It has the 2 women from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as the main characters. The cinematography from what I saw is stunning.

I have about 4 copies of the book floating out in the world right now...I have to pick it up from the library and read it again.

Remember when the book first came out and Madonna wanted the lead. :LOL :LOL

I am interested to see it. I also find it very very funny/odd/bizarre that of all the leads- only Ken Watanabe is Japanese.

I think the gals will be great - as they are very talented, I just thought it was bizarre.

I read this book years ago and am glad to see it will be turned into a movie. That is if they do it right.

I LOVED this book. Unfortunately I think movies rarely rarely do good books justice. I hope it'll be a good one, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Loved the book too-
but was mad that he doesn't admit that it's a composite until the end of the book!
