Lion movie

There's going to be a movie version of The Lions of al-Rassan, coming out in 2007. Very exciting. Although the linked imdb entry describes the plot as "In Al-Rassan, during the Christian re-conquest of Moorish Spain, two princes vie for the love of the same woman." Which makes it sound like the triangle is the focus of the book. Which it isn't. I wonder what they're going to do to the story... Also, what (who) will be cut; it's a full tapestry of a novel, and the movie won't have time for it all.

I had never heard of The Lions of al-Rassan before. I take it you'd recommend it highly?

I very much like it, yes.
I like pretty much all of Guy Gavriel Kay's writing, except for the Fionavar trilogy.
