My pleasure Carl! And yes, I also think it would make a great tv series but I could be accused of being a little biased!

Yes, Kylee, VA: Descent into Chaos is due out late 2008/early 2009 followed by VA: Fallout.

At this stage, a movie adaptation of VA is in development (see IMDb).

I just discovered the VA is to be a series. Fantastic! I've already made notations in my calendar to look for "VA: Descent into Chaos" late this year.

ETA: And a movie for Torn Asunder, wow!
