For posterity, my completely ludicrous Agents of SHIELD prediction

I already mentioned this to a couple of people last week, but I figured I'd repost it here. :D Since I don't have much contact with SHIELD fandom except through general flist fannish osmosis, I'm not sure if this is a prevailing theory that most people have already figured out, or so ridiculous that even Marvel wouldn't go there.

( My prediction! )

.... :D!

There is going to be a movie of Winter's Tale out next year! I had no idea. I adored that book when I was a teenager; it was one of my favorite books ever. I haven't read it in many years because of a fear that it had been visited by the Suck Fairy; I last reread it in college and remember being much less enamored than I was as a teen, which made me think that it might not stand up well over the years. But I am absolutely delighted at the idea of a movie.

(I guess this will do away with imagining Matt Bomer as Peter Lake, though. I've thought ever since I started watching White Collar that a Winter's Tale AU with Neal and Kate as Peter and Beverly would be amazing.)

Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3g69QlW2Ts. Although the trailer does give away most of the plot, including the big spec-fic twist in the middle of the book. (Thanks, trailer-making people.) You only need to watch about the first 20-30 seconds to see why I think this would make a perfect Neal Caffrey AU, though. :D

ETA: Just FYI, the discussion in the DW comments is FULL of spoilers for the book, right down to the ending. Also, many thanks to aqwt101 for pointing out that Matt Bomer, my fantasy-cast for Peter Lake, actually IS in the movie ... playing Peter Lake's father - set pictures here. I find this hilarious and awesome.
