Hi. I read in an interview by the Radio Times of Sean Bean that in the latest film Sharpe’s peril there is a hint about his daughter and an adventure in South America. He said he would like to do this but funding could be a problem. I realise that the Sharpe of the films has gone a different route to the Fictional Sharpe but if the it would be possible to combine the above story with the Story of Sharpe’s Devil. Instead of seeking Blas Vivar then he could be looking for his daughter. I always thought the the “Devil” story was one of the best adventures and that it would make a great film as have to other story conversions that have been made. Is there a chance that the Devil could be made into a film. Surely they would have to ask you for permission to adapt that story. I realise that you do not control the filming schedules but you might have heard something. I really do think the Devil would make a great film and have always thought that when they made the past films. I might just have to reread that story again if they don’t. I might anyway it is one of my personal favourites of the Sharpe series of books.
