The worst thing it they've stolen the title of a good book (Don DeLillo's White Noise) to make a shit horror film. The "Airborne Toxic Event" is one of the funniest scenes of modern satire, and now I have to give up hope of ever seeing it in a movie. I will also not be able to reccomend the book to anyone without adding "it has nothing to do with that shitty movie."

So wait, why is it important that it gets turned into a movie? Isn't it good enough that it exists in book form already? I doubt, given the subject matter of DeLillo's work, he's really keen on optioning his stuff out to be turned into Hollywood confections.

The first film to be made from a Don DeLillo script, Game 6, had its premiere at Sundance a couple of weeks ago. It's about a playwright and Red Sox fan (played by Michael Keaton) who skips the opening night of his new play to watch the fateful sixth game of the 1986 World Series.
