I agree with you. Vin Diesel is....scary! And, skinhead Jack is too awful. :eek:

Jeez, that would be a real travesty! Still, it would not surprise me too much. Hollywood seems to take perverse pleasure in taking really good books and screwing them up by putting together the most inappropriate casts. :mad:

Yeah, I know. That good example is The Keep.

I agree! I saw that some time ago and, if I remember right, didn't Glaeken get killed in the end? I cannot seem to remember and I really don't want to sit through that movie again just to find out whether I was right or wrong. Also, didn't Scott Glenn play Glaeken? He was the guy that played Jodie Foster's (Clarisse Starling) boss and mentor in "The Silence of the Lambs".

Sometimes I play THE KEEP just for that excellent soundtrack. I don't even have to be in the same room.

In the version NBC played once, Magda goes back into the keep and finds Glaeken alive but not too well, then I believe he sees his reflection in water (not that this means anything to the viewer because the unintelligible storyline never mentions his not having one) I taped this version, forgot to remove it from the VCR one day and it got recorded over. I got the theater version form a board member a year or two ago.

And another thing: Glaeken has a last name (Vobiskits or something like that) Where is that comming from? I don't recall that from the book.

The horror. . . . The horror . . .

Mad TV made a Rankin-Bass kind of Christmas story called "A Pack of Gifts Now"
at the end as he is dying, the Kringle whispers "the horror.....the ho...ho...horror"

Mmmmm.... biscuits! :p

don't know if this name has come up yet. i didn't want to surf through 15 pages of people bickering about whether or not ashton kutcher would make a good jack (NO). my choice is Jake Gyllenhaal. he's a couple years under the ideal age for Jack, but i think he would be cool. he's weird and quirky and normal looking. just the way he's supposed to be. what does anyone in JackMessageBoardLand think?

If they are going for a young RJ, he'd be a viable contender. I still want my RJ to be older.

Welcome to the board, BTW. Scrolling through 15 pages of this thread could be educational, annoying, and possibly enlightening, at least as to the cast of characters in JackMessageBoardLand.
