Wait. No mention of the dog, the first person of the book!!! I'm confused.

[helipilot04]

he's driving the car.....

[Robert J. Alder]

Surely you're not suggesting that Kevin Costner is a dog.

[helipilot04]

not at all..

I do wonder how they will tell the story as written, from the dogs point of view... what a great book for sure, but usually they mess it up when the make a "Hollywood" movie out of one.

Me too. Great book. Must re-read it.

I wondered how this would work too, but I saw a live play of it in Olympia WA, with a guy playing Enzo the dog, and it was great. You really could get into it. I assume in the movie they will use a dog, with computer graphics help, but I hope they keep the spirit of the story (& no, they didn't use me as an extra at Pacific Raceways, dammit !). When I met Garth at a race seminar, I just told him he needed to put some emotion into his stories!!! lol !!! (if you read the book, you will get that). I hope it turns out great !
