Well, I continue to live and learn. I apologize to all--again. It seems =
that the Columbus Dispatch does charge for access to their website. And =
I would say that since this is a copyrighted article I can't share it. =
(If that is not true, please correct me!) They do have a facility to =
email from the site, but it says one can email only to Dispatch =
subscribers!
Basically, this is what the article says. There are many striking =
similarities found between the movie The Village and Running Out of Time
Haddix fans noticed first, speaking up via e-mail and online message =
boards. She hasn't seen the movie yet, but will be going to see it =
tonight. She has been advised by her publisher not to comment. Some =
similar points mentioned are: the time periods are close (1840 and =
1897); both feature young girls who are tomboys; both communities are =
urgently in need of modern lifesaving medication; adults in both are =
keeping a secret from the children. There is some discussion of why =
copyright infringement is difficult to prove.=20
Gene Shalit gave The Village a scathing review this morning on the Today =
show! I think this will be an interesting case to watch.
