I just recently read the graphic novel (was in my college bookstore) and like most people who are fans of a book, I'm a little bit cautious about the movie. I guess going into the movie knowing it won't be as good as the novel might help.
Also, I think it is a good idea to take out the pirate section. Though it gave a great example of foreshadowing and showing how the events taking place in another light, it would be too confusing for the audience (it would be seen as having a direct effect of the main plot and not a side plot).
I'm just psyched to see how well it will transition into the twenty-first century audience. Hopefully the movie goes well.
Do you think two - two and a half hours would do the novel justice? Or is it too much?
