                   “Night of the Lepus” was based on a book‽
                                        
I'm going to lunch with a few cow-orkers and ST  is driving. While driving,
we're subject to his music listening choices, which tend towards movie and
video game scores. As a joke, I mention that he's playing the score to “Night
of the Lepus [1]” and to my total surprise, no one else in the vehicle had
ever heard of the movie.

So of course I start reading off the plot synopsis from Wikipedia [2] and I'm
amazed to learn that it's based on a book! “Night of the Lepus” was
originally a book! I then switch to reading the plot synopsis [3] of The Year
of the Angry Rabbit (Good lord is this expensive!) [4] and … it sounds
amazing! An attempt to eradicate rabbits in Australia leads to world peace
through an inadvertant doomsday weapon with occasional outbreaks of killer
rabbits.

Wow!

Why wasn't that movie made?
