Wow, I hadn't even heard it was in production. Looks like it has possibilities.

Seems a little "Avatar" doesn't it? Rehashing a rehashed type of story.

Considering the story was written somewhere between 1910 and 1940 (I guess they combined some of his books), one could argue that Avatar is a rehash of these books. But then there are those that say Avatar is Pocahontas in a SF setting. smile

Didn't know it was an old book, maybe it's the LOTR of that type of story. Still, wonder if this movie is coming out as a result of Avatar's success. Would be good if they had picked a story that was less similar, it's not like there's a shortage of good sci fi out there.

I'll be waiting for the reviews first before i decide to see this in the theatre. It will definitely at least be a DVD rental though.
