I just found out that many directors/produces have contacted BJ about a film adaption of "The Flying Dutchman" by people such as Steven Spielberg, but he turn them down since he preferd kids to read the books instead of watching the movie!  :o

I am in agreement.
"'Tis the business of small minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

"Integrity and firmness is all I can promise; these, be the voyage long or short, shall never forsake me although I may be deserted by all men."
-George Washington

BJ was right, books should be read (or listened to) by kids rather than a cinema.

He did approve of a TV series.

Actually, I think it would've been really cool to have a Castaways movie. Also, it would've introduced more people to the books.

Yes, good on him for making that decision. Not every book has to become a film which is often a disappointment compared with the book anyway.

I think so, too! Maybe Brian said no simply because he's of a different generation, you know?

That was probably an influential aspect.
However, I feel like they would end up making the way Ben and Ned became ageless a bit twisted.
