It’s been cool getting to witness the writing of Dave Eggers, one of my favorite novelists, come to life on screen.  Sometimes its the script (Away We Go).  Other times its a movie based on a story (Promised Land).  And sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get a movie based on a  novel (most recently with A Hologram for the King).  Now, this spring, we finally get The Circle.  In many ways, it’s the exact opposite of Hologram, which is good because that movie didn’t get much airtime or box office draw at all.  Big names in this one, though.  And for all of the flaws of the thriller genre, the novel is still an engrossing read.  Here’s the trailer.
