PiLFy 3 #51 February 4, 2011 QuoteQuoteErika I definitely pictured differently than the Swedish actress. Yes, including her having more sex appeal & sophistication. They cast Aniston in her role? Good grief. That's not right, either. Robyn Wright has been cast as Erika. Same Difference. She's not how I picture Erika @all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieByTheSea 0 #52 February 4, 2011 Quote Robyn Wright has been cast as Erika. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Same Difference. Robin Wright is not at all relative to Jennifer Aniston.

AllisonH 0 #53 February 5, 2011 Quote Quote Do you have time to pleasure "listen"? Audible.com has all three unabridged books. I do, but audibles books are expensive...I'm not paying $15 for what I can get for $7 in paperback. But, if you or anybody else know of any cheaper places for downloadable books, I'm all ears. Try the library? Some have better selections than others, but you may be able to put it on hold or have it sent in from another library if it's not in stock on CD. Lots of librarys now also offer free downloads of audiobooks on MP3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Wright is not at all relative to Jennifer Aniston. Wright is a fantastic actress. Take a breath there, Carrie. I have no idea how she is as an actress. Not was I dissing Aniston. I looked up some of Wright's publicity shots. She's not how I see that character. It's as simple as that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you pre-judge every film adaptation based on whether the actors look the way you picture them then you'll never like any film adaptation ever. Ok, so you'll be right about 90% of the time, but it's still not exactly fair.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so you'll be right about 90% of the time, but it's still not exactly fair. I usually never see the movie if I've already read the book. Specifically for this reason. When I read well-written fiction. I paint elaborate imagery in my head. I only watched Dragon Tattoo because it was so cheap on Amazon. I knew this would most likely happen going in. Unfair? I'm doing them no harm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But neither medium would be a full substitute for the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But neither medium would be a full substitute for the other. Well, I did watch the first movie a while back and it was evident that a lot of material was left out, so I agree that the books are considerably more comprehensive. Its always interesting when you imagine and create in your head what you think a character looks like, then they look completely different in a movie.And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

Money, How much money did the Swedish versions earn in the US? Right, virtually zero. So, it's an untapped market. Americans simply are not going to pay $10 or $12 a head to see a foreign film dubbed to English. Edit for spelling.Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

LouDiamond 1 #69 June 1, 2011 My guess is it will be good but different, much like the original La Femme Nikita and the later American Version that came out years later. Personally, I prefer the original LFN version and while I'll go see this new Dragon version, my gut tells me I'll end up liking the original more."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have yet to see an American remake of a Euro original that was anywhere near as good as the original I watched "let me in" the other night, it's the USA version of "Let the Right One In" a Swedish film. The USA version kinda missed the mark in a lot of areas, It seems almost impossible for the USA to be able to do "subtle" and "understated". They credit thier audience with little intellect and reasoning abiltiy. I'm not even going to touch "Wings of Desire" Vs "City of Angels"You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?
