Sounds interesting. Let's hope they can pull off the transition form book to screen.
Seeing how it will be made by the BBC in partnership with HBO, it should be great. With being a series the BBC could go into detail following the books, more than the movie The Golden Compass could. With the series being on BBC1 we in the US will get to see this on BBCA i hope.
Let's be honest.
The Polar Express bombed because the acting was flat and the story dull, and the CGI was in that bad place called the "uncanny valley". Even if all BBC does is go live action instead the result will be better.
Oh, and your current avatar is Colin Baker and the prior one Roger Delgado (THE Master).
just wondering-since you have interest in this book/show, are you a fan of any type of Tolkien (the books especially more so then the movies)
or even game of thrones? not a whole lot of interest around here for "fantasy" stuff--tends to get derided as "dungeons and dragons" fare.
trying to explain the diff between Tolkien and D&D to someone who hasn't read Tolkien just gets more derision--

The Polar Express, the Tom Hanks movie? Are we talking the same books/movie?
The picture of the Master is looking in the guys soul for not being a Dr Who fan. Guess I will need to spell things out better here.
Check Colin's collar see if you can find the other avatar.
We sure are talking the same bad movie.
Do you have Colin sort of superimposed over Tom?
Funny you should mention this as I just read (reread?) The Fellowship of the Ring. Tolkien is good but he hamstrings himself with all sorts of oddities such as every other page having the hobbits sing a song and nonsense like that. (Tom Bombadil bugged the sh*t out of me.) There's also wayyyyyy too much walking but not enough action. And Sam's devotion to Frodo is just plain creepy, more so because it is never really explained.
Yes i like Tolkien, Both the books and the movies ( not so much The Hobbit movies) He did get to fond of inconsequential details of middle earth, but that did add to the mental visuals.
Actually lets dispense with some of the mystery. There is a lot of variety on this forum in tastes for different shows and literary works. The biggest Whovians are probably Bluce Ree and I, as our forum history will show. Overmind One is the biggest Trek fan I would guess, and the two of us are probably more into the older works too ( I correctly identified his username reference years ago).
