Strong +1. I read the book when I was 15 and had strong images in my head. The original movie disappointed me. I hope for better.

I’ll also say this - I read ”The Lord of the Rings” trilogy around the same time and have to say that Peter Jackson nailed it. It was like he had tapped into my brain and extracted my mental images of the story. Extraordinary. Freaked me out during the first 30 minutes, but then I accepted and went with it and enjoyed the shit out of it.
