Yes. It's out now. We're going to watch it next week. Suspect I might have to do this one round the wrong way.

I saw the movie when it came out, and it was excellent (Fernando Meirelles directing + a breathtaking Rachel Weisz, and everything else was just a bonus), and my dad has the novel... that would be the wrong way around as well, but I guess I could just re-watch the movie. :P

To be honest, having just read TTSS, I'm not really sure how they'd make it into a good movie... most of the real action happens in flashback, the main plotline is rather sedate to be honest.


Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds...
