Shogun - new series coming, not sure what I think about that
I remember the Shogun miniseries from 1980 with Toshiro Mifune and Richard Chamberlain. It was an excellent "movie". I've got it on disk and have watched all 9 hours (not in one sitting) and it's still excellent. I've read the book a couple of times and could barely put it down. From what I remember the mini series pretty faithfully followed the book.
I saw a trailer for a new Shogun series. It looks like it's beautifully done, but I am dubious about it. I'll watch it, but I'm not expecting much.
I'm cautiously hopeful. I'm afraid that they've tried to add too much modern drama and flash, and lost site of the story which is fantastic.
