changelingThere is now a trailer out for the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It looks like it bears little to no resemblence to the spirit of the graphic novel, which makes me sad. It looks like Mina has magically become a flashy Hollywood vampire. For the love of all that is good and holy! I mean, Peta Wilson! What the hell were they thinking? It should have been someone like Jennifer Ehle, who can be rawther prim and proper and still prod buttock as hard (if not harder) than the next man. And those stupid, so very American initials: LXG. Are they trying to encourage their children to be illiterate?
On the plus side, it looks like it's going to be a pretty, shiny movie. And it has Sean Connery and Richard Roxburgh. We'll pretend that Mina's character wasn't haemorrhaged out of existence and perform a memory wipe so we don't remember the original comic, and we may enjoy it. Mina was one of my favourite characters, but I'll just have to sacrifice her and pray to the good God above that Captain Nemo rocks as hard as he does in the book.
I must to bed. Tomorrow I will go to the post office and enquire about postage to the US. I will also stop using italics so frequently.
