Rising Sun was very faithful to the book, up until the ending. Still, I enjoyed seeing it made on the big screen. Sean Connery played Captain Conner well, Chrichton even said that the part was written with Connery in mind.

There's a trailer available now.
Ripped from trailer thread

I dunno. It could really work but I have some serious doubts. I guess they added the whole father son thing to make it more pressing to save him then just a bunch of graduate students saving their professor.
I did really like that scene with all of the archers firing on Castegard.

Spoiler:
Can't wait 'til it comes out on film, but unfortunately, they'll probably cut out a major part of the details described in the book, ie, the water cylinder like time machine.
I don't get how people can call Crichton's books cheesy and not Clancy's books cheesy? Why? Just 'cause Clancy's books are manly w/ all the guns, espionage, and government conspiracies? What is cheesy anyway?
And can somebody please stop calling him Chrichton? I mean Jesus Christ, go to amazon.com and look up the guy's name.

I enjoyed the book. Yes, it was quite obvious the intentions of writing it to become a movie, but it's not Shakespear. It was a nice summer book, tt will hopefully be a good summer flick. Besides, it has Gerard Butler - that alone gets my ticket.

Timeline trailer ( Paul Walker OWNZ you )
http://www.movie-list.com/t/timeline.shtml
I think Richard Donner sucks, and the plot looks silly, but that pillar of awesomeness known as Paul Walker will make me see this. It also has Gerard Butler ( Currently being wasted in Tomb Raider 2 ) and Neil McDonough ( Band Of Brothers, upcoming Walking Tall remake ).

yeah I think they'll totally f*up this adaptation
think Congo...
anyways, the book was awesome
btw for those of you that have not read the book
it has a very scientific explaination of why so-called
"time travel" could never happen because of the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics meaning you can't determine time and position
simultaneously, anyways if you have some physics background and read the book it seems pretty convincing
of course the movie has to be dumbed down like a 100 times for the average joe to understand, beside who the hell's gonna believe Paul Walker as a nerdy scientist
