Revolutionary Road is one of my favorite novels of all time, too. I am really hoping that they do at least partial justice to it (but am pretty worried all the same).

Revolutionary Road is one of the greatest modern novels ever written. You can already tell they fucked-up the film version by casting DiCaprio in the lead role. Terrible.
