I thought it was very good, got the S African situation very well, and the location (not the real setting of the novel) was very well chosen. As an ex-S African I thought they captured the various racial subtleties extremely well; how much it will mean for anyone who has not grown up in that unhappy country I really don't know!

I read and loved the book, and he doesn't match up with Lurie at all - his coloration, bone structure, coloration, body language are all wrong. (Lurie wasn't bald, for one thing). And, right, from what they've chosen to spotlight in the trailer, the photography is drawing out different affects than the texture of the book's language (it 'feels' different). I haven't seen the film of course but this does not look great. I think you’re right – Malkovich looks like a bad fit.

I am not sure how well the source material will translate to the big screen, as the subject matter is tremendous in scope, but I will certainly be checking it out as soon as possible. I highly recommend the novel to anyone that finds this intriguing, as well.

I am really curious to see how the various stories play out. That interests me a little more but I’m still not sold. I am really curious to see how the various stories play out.

It is such a strange story, a strange world it depicts and it leaves you with all of these invested emotions wanting retribution and it doesn't provide catharsis.
