It's not cable

Whether the rumored Friday Night Knitting Club project ever gets off the ground, there's the potential for another knitting-related movie to be made. OK, make that TV movie. HBO has optioned The Knitting Circle with Katherine Heigl in mind as the lead.

I've not read either of the knitting novels, nor does Heigl's attachment to the project bother me. (At least in film circles online, the actress seems to be quite disliked.) Frankly, HBO's involvement should invite more hope than if this were another theatrical romantic comedy. Heigl's cinematic efforts have been mostly been ill-fitting and unpleasant affairs.

So, what do you think?
