This sentence is very misleading: "Uma Thurman bought the film rights to The Swarm in May 2006, which is now in development and due for release in 2008."

To me it seems as if Uma Thurman bought the film rights for a still-to-produce-film "The swarm" based on the book "Der Schwarm" by Frank Schätzing. The link to the movie leads to a 1978-movie about a bee swarm. Now it is completely unclear, if the link has been set incorrectly and Uma Thurman bought film rights for Schätzings "Der Schwarm" or if Uma Thurman bought film rights to "The Swarm"-the 1978-movie and wants to produce a remake of that. In the latter case there would be absolutely no connection to Frank Schätzing and the sentence shouldn't be in this article. Also, there is a subtitle to the English translation of the German book: >>The Swarm. A Novel of the Deep<< Edited: 2006-10-30
