The movie adaptation for Donald Miller’s popular memoir Blue Like Jazz has been a long time coming. Well-known musical artist Steve Taylor has been hard at work on the adaptation for several years. After much fund-raising, and even a book that grew out of the process of converting Miller’s life into a watchable movie, a trailer finally released a few months back.
Then, yesterday, Donald Miller posted on Twitter that we could expect some “big news” about his movie. Well the news is out: It looks like Blue Like Jazz will be premiering at SXSW on Tuesday, March 13.
The only question that remains: Will Miller’s memoir work as a movie? We’ll find out in a few weeks.
What do you think?
Well, since it didn’t work as a memoir, maybe…?
I can’t wait to see it. Looks great!
I saw an advance screening, and I’ll say, I really liked it! I think it is both an excellent movie and helpful for the cause of Christ. While it doesn’t try to be an accurate portrayal of the book, it accurately recreates the book in feel–I left the theatre feeling the same way the book made me feel.
If you’re interested, I have posted a full review.
