Movies: Making a Case for Adapting Hiaasen
Although only two of Carl Hiaasen's novels--Striptease and Hoot--have been turned into films, "his laugh-out-loud stories are surely ripe for adaptation," the Guardian's film blog suggested, adding, "With vivid plotlines and characters, and an increasingly relevant social message, it is a wonder that more of Hiaasen's works have not made it on to the big screen. . . . Hiaasen's back catalogue is a movie producer's dream: characters pop up again and again throughout his works, most of them crazy but damnably iconic."
