Will look forward to that, too, and to your reviews of two other 2022 movies based on books: the remake of "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" and Reese Witherspoon's "Where the Crawdads Sing" (both of which I've reviewed on Medium in anticipation of the films).

"Crawdads" is truly awful, but I expect the film to be at least marginally better because Witherspoon is a Southerner and may have a better grip on what's wrong with some of its racial stereotypes than the non-Southern author (who appears not even to recognize them as stereotypes). https://janiceharayda.medium.com/where-the-crawdads-sing-is-the-most-overrated-novel-of-the-decade-c9e45a018efd
