Has anybody read these books?

Steampunky! Looks cool.

read the first one; a good read. The problem for fans of the book(s) is that they're going to have to squish a lot together to fit the whole story into movie format ... baaaah! Kind of like the way fans of Harry Potter aren't going to universally like the next film of that series.

I saw this trailer with Pirates 3 I believe. Haven't read the books. I'm always taken out of the "realness" of effects work when they pull back and show you a figure through a window in some fantastic craft. Spaceships, submarines, dirigibles etc. They always go for way more clarity than you'd actually have with a window view. Of course I just duped and partially watched THE GIANT CLAW. There we're talking some special effects. A giant buzzard eating sabre jets hung from strings.

Haven't read, but this looks pretty good. Sam Elliot is just too cool for words... he looks like he just walked right out of one of those N C Wyeth western paintings!

I think Sam Elliot plays the same character in every film!! Didn't he say the same line in "Ghostrider?!?!???"
