Ah Maggers, he was no vampire in "The League of Extrordinay Gentlemen". I'm not sure what he was, (but he was immortal until he looked at his self portrait that aged while he didn't) He was Dorian Grey, I believe. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.
Actually, I think he would make a great R- guy. I'd rather have Jonny Depp though! And remember, all these Jack novels take place before Reprisal where he was a collage student! He can make himself look like anything, (maybe that's why we all picture him differantly). If you don't belive me, Ask Mrs Lom!

I think she is referring to Queen of the Damned, which SUCKED!!

At least what little I saw of it.

Jim is correct. I was speaking of "Queen of the Damned," where he played the vampire Lestat. And it totally sucked. Right again, Jim!

Told you I wasn't sure. Big Grin Actually I've never seen "Queen of the Damned",
and after the thumbs down you and Jim both gave it, I doubt I will. But you have to admit that it does look like the charecter Dorian Grey out of the "League of Extrordinary Gentlemen". (although I'm going on a few years memory here)

I found LXG to be a horrible movie also. Maybe not as bad as Queen of the Damned, but I don't think I finished watching either one.

Of course like anything, it will depend greatly on the writing. Richard Matheson wrote on the original. Great show that got canceled too early.

And from the previews I have been seeing it looks like they are going to take the serious dark approach to it, kind of like Millenium (which I liked, mostly for Lance Henricksen's acting, and decent writing).

Crossing my fingers it will be good.

I'm surprised no one has written about this yet. "Night Stalker" premiered the other night. Did anyone catch it? I enjoyed it, though I missed a bit about 3/4 of the way through, so I can't say for sure if it really held water. I did like what I saw, though the female lead is weak.

Darren McGavin had a cameo...he was just hanging around the newsroom in the vicinity of the 2 leads. He had no lines, he just was there wearing his standard old "Kolchak" costume and holding that ratty hat. Cute.

BTW, Stuart Townsend would make a good "Reborn" era Rasalom.
