@BaconCat: it isn't a sexy book BACONCAT! hey, just dropping by the comments to say how great this book is and everyone should read it, and recommend maybe avoid reading any articles about it so you can surprised by the plot. ohmygod it's so good. i read it in like 2 days.
@pufflehuff: For real. I read "Never Let Me Go" a few months ago and was profoundly moved. I can't imagine Kiera Knightly being able to do it justice. The main character was such a blank canvas in many ways; I fear that KK will try to "cute" it up like she did in Pride and Prejudice.
@meerkat: I agree with everything everyone has said here.
I just Googled and here's what I could find. It makes me happy that I don't know anyone else in the movie:
Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky) has joined Fox Searchlight's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's best-selling novel Never Let Me Go. She will play a teacher at the seemingly idyllic English boarding school attended by Ruth (Keira Knightley), Kathy, (Carey Mulligan), and Tommy (Andrew Garfield). The film, directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) from a screenplay by Alex Garland (28 Days Later) begins filming in the U.K. today.
@Phyllis Nefler: NOOOOO not Sally Hawkins! Please don't let her do a Poppy on this... bloody hated Happy-Go-Aaargh-Save-Me-From-Her. Andrew Garfield is excellent, though, have a google of Red Riding on Channel 4.
I'll see Jason Bateman in anything, but wasn't this already the plot of Punch Drunk Love? And won't this interfere with the most important upcoming motion picture event ever, the Arrested Development movie?

One of the best, most moving, and perhaps the most original book I've ever read. After two years or so, I still think about it so often.

@dolemite1975: More excuse to rip her out of those!

I know - first I was so excited that there's going to be a film, and then I thought, Kiera Knightly?? Maybe not such a good idea.
