Here's an odd coincidence

I just started reading 24 Hours by Greg Iles. It's about a team of professional kidnappers that can ransom a child within one day, until the parents of one snatched kid decide to fight back.

On Sunday, I was reading about the videos to be released this week, which included Trapped with Kevin Bacon. The plot seemed very similar, and then I noticed the character names were the same. Checking out the IMDB, I saw that it was indeed the same story, and Iles also wrote the screenplay.

I just thought that was weird that I would start reading a book without knowing that the movie was being released the same time.

Honk!

The movie sucks. Good job picking up the book first....even if you didn't know it.

FYI, they changed the name of the movie so as to not be confused with 24 the TV series.
