Idris Elba right?

I think he was a good choice, out of who they could have picked. But having never read the book I cannot say.

I know from experience that it is hard to bring your favorite characters to the big screen.

Is it at least a decent director?

Well is he like Clint eastwood because a same type of guy would have been perfect.

Anyway the director got some good awards but did not watch any movie:
