Cool, nice that Sam Neil will be in this, I'm still being reserved about this movie, it can go all kinds of ways, do I feel cautiously optimistic? yes, I just have a little feeliing it might not be good, I was still upset I was waiting for the casting call to play Zelda myself, but they never called, Imagine that?
