Berger's previous movie was pretty weak, anyway, cast, setting, everything looks very promising.

Movie sounds like a helluva fun time. Really looking forward to it.

I hope it is like the novel, a fun ride, but also deals with some serous issues.

Straight to 1.500 theaters (and to Peacock in early December, what a dump by Universal).

Was supposed to open limitedly. These 1500 theaters are actually generous. Going wider now depends on the reception. I hope it does well.

Actually the novel deals with some pretty serious issues and I suspect the film will also.

I repeat, if well done it will make a good thrillerm though not sure fun time is how I would describe it.

Wow, they  staying close to the nevel.

They are even keeping the climaticevent which i thought they might change because of current politics might make it touchy.

Spoiler

The climax is triggerds by a attack by Islamic Terrorist on the Vatican, exploding a massive truck bumb outside St,Peters. The reactions of the cardinals is what triggers  the  final part of the novel and, apparently, film. Almost every scene in trailer and lot of the lines are direct from the novel.

I won't get into figures, but it is  being counterprogrammed against "Venom" so the studio must have confidence that it can draw from the audience who is not interested in seeing "Venom" Hoping for sort of 'Devil Wears Prada vs Superman Returns". THye are not expecting it to come close to beating Venom but i can pull around 25 to 30 Millin the studio will be very happy. Clear the expect this to be an awards contender and expect to make their big bucks that way.

Studio is buying quite a bit of ad time on several cable networks for this.

Voldemort leading the Vatican seems fitting

93% at rotten tomatoes.

And Feinnes getting an Oscar Nomination seems a sure bet.

If they stick to the novel, which fem the trailer they seem to be doeing, the Fiennes Cardinal will be a sympathetic charecter.

The novel is very balanced; it is not a whitewash of the Catholic CHurch, but not a hostile attack either.rANyway, last thing we need around here is a religous debate. Internet religous arguments almost never end up well. They turn into the proversibal two gangs of idiots shouting at each other.
