Even though I think QT's just saying stuff without having much commitment behind it, if he IS serious about filming the series, he'd have to cut out an awful lot of stuff that's integral to the plot I would imagine.<br /><br />The 1988 series is actually pretty good (though it's never been released commercially, due to a block on the rights by Deighton, it is available rarely on DVD) and captures the feel of the books well. Also (as shown in the picture above), it's cool that the character of Dicky Cruyer is played by the same actor - Michael Culver - who some years earlier played Captain Needa in Star Wars!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
