The Last Express/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Development Hell: A film version directed by Paul Verhoeven was announced some time ago but seems to have stalled.
  • Doing It for the Art: The "making of" video shows how painstaking they were about accuracy, the quality of the live art nouveau animation, the intricate-yet-flexible storyline, and the depth of characterization right down to individual reactions to meeting the protagonist in the corridor.
  • Stillborn Franchise: The Last Express hints at an awesome sequel in which both the significance of Cath's ring and the reason behind his all-consuming drive to get to Jerusalem will be revealed. The suggestion that the 13th tribe of Israel may be involved somehow makes it all the more tantalizing. These would all be spoiler tagged but there will never be a sequel, so we will never know what happened.
  • The Wiki Rule: The Last Express Wiki.
