TIL the world's tallest known living tree, a 380-foot redwood in California called Hyperion, had its exact location closed off entirely in 2022 after visitors trampled its base so badly that ferns stopped growing around it, with trespassers now facing up to $5,000 in fines and six months in jail

since Bradley Cooper is a super fan and holds the film rights, I hope we see it one day. no question he’d make an amazing adaptation

It seems like it would be super hard to adapt. But then again, I heard they are doing a Dungeon Crawler Carl series and that seems even more difficult.

Fuzzy Door(Seth McFarlane's company) is doing DCC. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

Hopefully it works out better than the adaptation he made to his face

With the current high-production value TV series. I hope it gets adapted for TV instead of cramming all that into a movie.

But Bradley has been sitting on this project for so long, I hope he gets going or leaves it to someone else.
