Anyway, the trailer's out: [link] And you know what? It looks... sort of fun!
Yeah, I thought the trailer looked shockingly good and pretty much right on.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't read the books. I imagine I might find the character in them as irritating as I find Heigl's version. That trailer makes me want to slap people.

You absolutely would.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Heh. I'm not surprised. Of all the things that are not up in ita's wheelhouse, this one would be right there on top.
I heard the character becomes a more competent bounty hunter in later books, but in this one, she's a mess. Usually I find that annoying, but the trailer's got a breezy pace and the Heigl and the Main Dude seem to have some chemistry, so I'm sold.

I'm all over Mara's sexiness usually, but it evaporates when he gets attracted to a woman I can't stand.

Art Crawl!!!
But much as I like Mara - I don't see him as Joe Morelli.

I think everyone should be more ethnic. That's what I picture, not that anything is being...desecrated.(I liked those books a lot, though I have lost touch with it in recent years.)

Yeah, not the face I pictured in my head when I read the books. But, I like the person they chose for Ranger even if I don't know the actor. And I think Debbie Reynolds is going to steal the show as Grandma Mazur.

It looks like they couldn't get Chris Evans to pose for these Avengers poster pictures: [link] (I'm not saying it's true, just that what it looks like to me....)
