Catherine Hardwicke Taking 'MAXIMUM RIDE'
Are you ready to take the MAXIMUM RIDE???? Don't get too excited. It's just a movie about bird-teens and wolf-people directed by Twilight:
Having put her stamp on "Twilight," Catherine Hardwicke is in talks with Sony's Columbia Pictures to develop and direct a film adaptation of another young-adult fantasy series, "Maximum Ride."The five-volume series by James Patterson chronicles six teens, known as the Flock, who are genetically altered so that they are part human and part bird. Learning to fly, they escape the laboratory where they have been housed and are pursued by a pack of creatures called the Erasers that are part human and part wolf.
Man, teen half-birds being pursued by part human/part wolf hybrids (which, incidentally, are more commonly called wolfmen). That's probably the most ride you could ever get. Six Flags might as well give up on translating this one into a roller coaster, because it's not becoming any more of a ride. This is the maximum ride. Bird-teens versus wolfmen. Nothing is ridier.
