It looks awful. That looks like a fanfilm.

Best graphic novel in the scene by a long shot, in the top 50 of time magazines best books of all time. Best tenner you could spend on a book and will take aaaages to read.

Then you'll read it again.

I thank you.

Has to be done so carefully, the story is the most central aspect of the thing. As i said previously, it should have been a mini series with each episode being the length of a movie.

I do have a reasonable amount of hope for this one, not watched the trailer yet though.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Yeah, it's like you want to see it but don't want to see it ruined, it's a fine tightrope.

Same director as 300 though and that was pretty true to form, trailer even has the frame captures in straight from the book, will be 2 1/2 hours long but the DVD is hoping to be 3 hours and will include the 'pirate' tale. Cinema version will just be the summer friendly blockbuster to get the cash.

300 had pointless extra creatures, and goat-boy amputee orgies?

But you summed it up perfectly, i really want it to be good.

The only thing that i want more and it to be done PERFECT is the Dark Tower movie.
