Tony, yes, I believe there is a film. I haven't heard anything particularly positive about it, though. To be fair, the book is so mad that it would be difficult to make a convincing film out of.
I read in yesterday's Scotsman, though, that a film is due this winter of one of my favourite novels in the last couple of years: THE KITE RUNNER by Khalen Hosseini. I truly stunning, beautiful novel. Hope the film does some sort of justice to the tale.
On the subject of anime/manga, I got a massive tome, Manga Design by Wiedemann, Julius, published by Taschen, which included a DVD with creator interview and the like, for £10 from Fopp. Not sure if they still have it on sale there, though.

There's a film of that out now, I think.
