Well, the girl he became was Rachel McAdams, which automatically makes it a much better movie.
Yep, she's on my "love to be naughty with" list. She was really good in "Red Eye" and Cillian Murphy was a great bad guy, really lizard like.
Gotta check those out soon! What a great show, and so much more scientifically accurate than probably any other sci-fi.
Scientifically accurate within the science FICTION genre is right down my alley. I get really fed up with all these people taking liberties just because it says fiction.
I just saw the trailer. It looks like it should be better than the miniseries that came out years ago, but that's not saying much. I never would've pictured Whoopie Goldberg as the old woman, but she's a pretty good actress, so I'm sure she'll be fine. The thing that makes me hesitant is they call it a "limited series", so I'm not sure if they're just doing a miniseries, completely within the book, or if they're expanding on it and making up new content.
What I'm thinking is that, rather than call it a miniseries, they call it a "limited series", which might just be semantics, but it could mean it's not just the contents of the book, spread out over several "shorter than a movie" episodes. It's possible they're testing to see if there'd be interest in a series, like Walking Dead, without the zombies.
Yep but I think the production schedules threw them for a loop and they don't have enough product to serve it to us all at once so they're playing like real TV with these episodes, which is why I wait for a full season on everything but The Boys and The Mandalorian. Can't didge the spoilers on those two.
Haven't watched E01 yet, may be awhile. But imdb fans are roasting it. Sounds like e01 they start at the end of the story and jump back and forth across the timeline. Sounds idiotic to me. Fans are saying that there is no character developement because of this and sounds like the Frannie character is dislikable in this one.
I watched e01, and there is some jumping from past to what I assume is present, but I didn't see anything that looked like the end of the story. One thing I did notice is that it's designated as "Season 1", which leads me to believe they're not sticking just to the contents of the book. TBH, I read that so many years ago, I'm not sure if all the characters and situations I've seen are true to the book. The show hasn't exactly been riveting so far, but I'm going to watch e02 and hope it gets better.
