I haven't seen the movie (probably will get ages to reach these Northern shores), but in my opinion Hollywood has always had a great skill to turn gold to shit. They ruined my favorite comic book Tank Girl and the same thing will probably happen with the 4thcoming Judge Dredd adaptation (Sly Stallone as JD? Come on!). Not to talk about when they get their hands to Gibson's 'Neuromancer'... Never thought that the book was a masterpiece to start with, anyway...
