"Silence"

Great news!  One of (I think) the best novels of the 20th Century -- "Silence", by Shusaku Endo -- is being made (by Scorcese!) into a movie (starring, inter alia, Daniel Day-Lewis and Benicio Del Toro, two of the best actors working).  I can't wait.  Please, oh please . . . don't mess this up, Marty.  More here.  And here.  (Thanks to dotCommonweal for passing on the news.)
