Every time I turn on the boob tube the last couple of weeks, I see a trailer for this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1611224/
IIRC, this was a pulp novel not so long ago....akin to the Jane Austen vs. etc., etc.,....
Never read the Jane stuff, but the wife did and got a kick out of it.
At any rate, the movie is directed by the Russian guy who did Night Watch, Day Watch, Wanted, etc.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0067457/
As goofy and silly (and dumb) as the trailer looks, IMO, the man has a talent for visuals.
Fingers crossed here for a cult classic (uhhh...make that triple crossed
).
On a related note...after scrapping around the bottom of Amazon, I found a BD of this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2246549/
Unfortunately, I couldn't resist and ordered.
VERDICT: fifteen minutes, and out (it's really that bad
).
Wow wow wow, just horrible shite...completely stinks up the place.
