I've never heard of the series, but the involvement of Tim Burton and Alan Tudyk has certainly caught my interest! It sounds like a kooky idea, could be a great (off-beat) kind of watch. Thanks for the info :4

I must be the only one who cannot take Alan seriously..... every time he's on the screen I want him to dress and talk like a pirate. (He was AMAZING in Dodgeball).
 
I read the book a few months ago. I've always liked stories that manipulate history and take it off on strange tangents, and this one fit that category perfectly. I really hope that they don't screw it up with the movie, the way that they do so often.
 
I saw this book on clearance at Marshall's last year- now I wish I would've gotten it!

Before I saw him in any Whedon production, I first saw Alan in 28 Days. God, he was so hilarious in that! His performance in Dollhouse really showed his more serious acting side I thought, he was fabulous.

I enjoyed this book as well. There may be a wee bit of hope as to the quality of the script due to the author being involved in writing it! Here's to hoping it even remotely lives up to the book. 😉
