Well, with Martin Lawrence involved, you know it's going to be quality, at least.
Because the second Hulk did so well?

Well, it's more an American adapatation of a British flick that no one saw.
And then, there's that whole color issue . . .

How was it an American movie? Much of the cast was British, it was filmed in London, and that's where most of the finacing originated.
Frank Oz and Peter Dinklage don't make it American.

I'm sure Keeley Hawes and Matthew MacFayden would be very surprised to hear that. And Jane Asher. And Andy Nyman. And Ewen Bremmer, Rupert Graves, Peter Vaughan...hey, that's pretty much everyone aside from Dinklage, Alan Tudyk, and Daisy Donovan, who's American-born but has a UK-based career.

Posted: 3/10/09 at 3:32amHow do we even know that Keeley Hawes, Matthew MacFayden, Jane Asher, Andy Nyman, Ewen Bremmer, Rupert Graves, and Peter Vaughan are real people, much less British? They looked very CG to me.

Peter Dinklage is an American, born and bred in New Jersey. He may be of Lithuanian descent, but his nationality is American.

I dunno. Ewen Bremner looks like he could be a member of the Borg.
Do you think Peter Dinklage felt left out during the filming of this movie because all the other actors were British and he was not? He couldn't get in on all the inside jokes that Brits have with one another?
