@...tiki god: I had heard of the Black Frigate DVD. Hadn’t heard about the 5 hour long cut, though. That’ll be interesting to see.

I guess “cut” isn’t the right word, since from what I’ve heard Snyder filmed the thing pretty much shot for shot with the novel. Maybe what I’m trying to get at is it doesn’t feel like they’ll have time to explore everything in a feature film, even one five hours long.

We’ll see how it turns out. When I read the novel, it wasn’t a page turner like, say, a Dresden Files book is. But it got in my head. I kept going back to it and re-reading it, and every time I did, I got something new out of it. If the film does the same, I’ll be happy. ^_^
