MrWally Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Wow. O_o That actually looks really interesting. Why have I not heard of this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Wow, with all the CG inserted it looks a lot more bad ass. But when I was reading the books I kinda imagined Oxford to look like a 1950's version of the world. Wasn't expecting the cool juice steam-punkish look.

Samnmax221 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I read the first one way back when it came out. When I head it was being made into a film I hauled it out and started cramming through it again, I'm about halfway done now. EDIT: I heard they took all of the religious commentary out of the movie, that'll ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I haven't read it. Though, I suppose I probably should 'cause I'll probably see this movie. As well as the fact, Daniel Craig, in which, I have grown into fan of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnmax221 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 ah ****, really? :[ Apparently the first time Chris Weitz was supposed to be director he wanted to sidestep the issue, then he resigned, then his successor resigned, then he took charge again and hasn't mentioned it since. To be true to the source material you really can't take it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoman81 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 The books are fantastic! Read them MrWally! Definitely read the books first. I also thought that the world would be set in either turn of the century or in the 1950s. If they cut out the religion stuff, it'll kill the story.

I hope this unknown Brit girl knows what she's getting into when she finds out she has to... do the whole teenage puppy love thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Lookin' Sweet. I'll try to get the books, though. This is one of those few something-to-movie adaptations that grab my interest. Teaser's fantastic! Daniel Craig looks teh pwnage! <_< >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Looks pretty sweet. Weird as it is, right after I watched the trailer, I came across all 3 books on a certain site. Gonna start reading em tomorrow probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
