I am actually looking forward to seeing this one. Its a premise you don't see often and it is directed by Jon Favreu who did a great job with the Iron Man movies.

Once again, Hollywood is mining the comics industry for scripts, as apparently nobody there can come up with an original idea - this is based on a 2006 graphic novel.
Now, what I would like to see is Girl Genius put on the big screen, but it would probably have to be a trilogy to do it right. And oh, you'd have to have James Earl Jones as the voice of the Castle.

But a Brit playing a cowboy? I know, I know, there were some Brits who adopted the cowboy lifestyle. But Daniel Craig?

At least a trilogy. Probably more. It might make a better TV serial.
But I'm hopeful about the planned Lensman Series movies.
The biggest problem with both is casting.
