Hollywood can be a… …mysterious place — both for the projects that get made and those that don’t.

It often amazes my how many stories with faith themes that would be naturals to adapt as films don’t seem to draw interest from the powers that be in the film business.

Here’s a list of some:

Crossbearer: A Memoir of Faith by Joe Eszterhas

This auto-biography telling the story, how the author of erotic movies like Basic Instinct and Showgirls found God and the strength to give up his addictions to alcohol and tobacco and to survive a horrible battle with throat cancer.

Alright don’t shoot! But I will admit I have never read a Anne Rice book in my life! Horrible I know. But I find it interesting that now know one wants to do a movie about her books since she left vampires behind.

Have you read any of Anne Rice’s books that aren’t about vamps? Do you think Joe Eszterhas book could be written into a movie?
