Honestly, we have no information at all other than that the film rights have been sold (to Miramax I believe) and they might possibly maybe release it in 2009 (which they won't).

Have you seen Narnia....which some of it was pretty good...or, even worse, the trailer for the Golden Compass. Talking live action animals=laughs

(LotR is a notable exception) It appears even worse if you're a big fan of the book. I think a lot depends on how the script is written; If that's good, then the film on the whole will be ok. AoS reads fairly realistically, so potentially the film could be amazing, if they stick to the book as much as possible.

And then the actor's capacity to act and the director's ability to get what he needs from them. Then the effects need to be realistic. And the scenery should be breath-taking....
