Did truly horrible miscasting ruin what could have been a great film?


Seriously, Stephen Weber and Rebecca DeMornay?????

reply

Tim Daly and Gary Sinise were both considered. I think they would have been great in the role.

I liked Rebecca in this. She is more like Wendy from the book. I hated Jack. Something about him just passed me off. And that kid.. Omg
(sorry to not include real names. I forgot while typing.)

This mini-series is better than the Kubrick version on ANY level.

"This mini-series is better than the Kubrick version on ANY level."

If you crammed any more wrong into that statement it would collapse in on itself and become a tiny irritating black hole!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

reply

Actually, DeMornay and Weber are fine. But that kid, he's atrocious. Just horrible. *beep* awful.

reply

Yeah. He was really, really bad.

The actors are not the biggest problem. It's making it 6 hours long and not have the budget or a good director to make it work.
