silversolitaireI saw a trailer before X2 about a movie I had never heard of before, which can't be, because I always heard of movies before. And that movie is fantastic! I gotta see it! NOW! It's awesome! The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!
It must be some sort of Indiana Jones typed movie. There's a great, but aged hero like Indiana Jones in the past (1920s or so). His name is Quatermain, which you might remember. There used to be a movie with Richard Chamberlain in the 80s that tried ripping off Indiana Jones, but failed. Anyway, he (played by Sean Connery! *murrs*) is asked to investigate something and he enters the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which is a club of men (and one woman) who have special powers, like the X-Men! And I think they're criminals. not sure. But they fight for the good side this time.
There's Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes' brother (which kinda dates it) and there's Dorian Gray (from the Oscar Wilde story, I assume, which means it's a young man who doesn't age or die), there was a woman who could dissolve into bats, Captain Nemo, and some Hulk-like creature who's the Hyde to the Dr.Jekyll I assume, and a guy who turned into a demon, and one who was always invisible and painted his face white to be seen (from the H.G. Wells novel I think even though the name was changed).
AWESOME! I must see it NOW or I'll die! *drools*
Edit: Just inspected the official website! The bat-lady is a vampire and called Mina Harker! *squeals* And that other young man is called Agent Sawyer who grew up on the Mississippi area! XD Oh this SO satisfies a lit-geek who loves superhero-movies I can't wait!
