This would be very cool. [And of course Superman is a tulpa. Batman too. Jeez.]

These books were fascinating, funny and interesting. I actually read/re-read them just a couple months ago. Here's hoping the movie "works." Mixed feelings about "What the Bleep..." Cool concepts, presentation... so-so.

Blog@Newsarama » Schwartz’s Unlikely Prophet heading to film:
"Variety reports that the producers of What the Bleep Do We Know? have bought the film rights to the metaphysical memoirs of Alvin Schwartz, who spent 17 years writing Batman and Superman stories in the 1940s and ’50s.

Global Intelligence Press has optioned Schwartz’s 1997 book, An Unlikely Prophet, and its 2006 sequel, A Gathering of Selves.

In An Unlikely Prophet, Schwartz contends that Superman is real — that he’s actually a tulpa, a being created from thought that takes on its own life. He also relates his encounter with the Man of Steel in a New York City taxi."
