Alfonso Cuarón

[Felicia Rickmann]

One thing that does concern me, more than that he greatly altered the 
plot of Great Expectation (and to a certain degree, A Little 
Princess), is that Cuaron doesn't have experience working with 
special effects. Whether or not he can blend them into the film will 
no doubt influence the final product.

OK I promise not to call you Vinnie..............onwards.....

Great Expectations, like a lot of Dickens, is a huge and very detailed book and so is open to much bowlderisation and it's the least the film world could do is to try and wreck an perfectly good sotry that takes forever to tell........however..

Columbus is still in as producer so I suspect that it will be more than Cuaron's life is worth to tamper with one of the world's best loved books other than to give it his particular viewpoint, especially with so much ground work and scene setting already done in the previous two films with Columbus directing.

I do hope they give the Shreiking Shack its full treatment though.  SO much happens there it's almost a minuature film in itself.  I still remember getting to where I though the end was and finding myself with a great swath of pages still to read......
