Fox rebooting League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

I liked the 2003 version, is that bad?

So do I.

Obligatory Idria Elba should play Alan Quartermaine post.

You're all horrible people.

In all seriousness, the 2003 version wasn't awful. But I thought it could be much better. Or at least better casted. It's one of those guilty pleasure deals that could be a lot better IMO.

The League of Extraordinary Gentleman can actually afford to be remade. For one....Tom Sawyer was not even in the graphic novel (they placed him and Shane West in there to make the film more appealing to American audiences). For another....the film was complete and utter crap. I remember reading Roger Ebert's review for it shortly after the film was released and remember agreeing with it completely.

Where can we put JGL in this??







Orrrrrrrr are we not doing the JGL thing anymore??

I liked it too and really appreciate how many practical effects they used for that movie. The whole streets of Venice set piece is fun even though its completely ridiculous and probably one of the bigger issues people had with it. The tone was a little bit uneven and the Mina Harker vampire stuff was lame. Nemo as a ninja like fighter was a bit much.

I was kind of hoping Agents of SHIELD would rip off what they did for the Jekyll/Hyde transformation for when Cal went Hyde.

Good. I liked that movie.

See above. I think it's the Idris Elba thing now.
