Weell, I don't think I buy this at face value. Still, I don't think such outrageous liberties with the characters and story are at all unimaginable from Hollywood, especially to make it more 'modern'.
I'm waiting for a film of
this. If you're going to murder the source material, at least do it in the name of humor.
