Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In 2003, Fox Studios released a film version of Alan Moore's popular graphic novel The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...er, sort of. It had the same basic premise and about half of the same characters, but was otherwise rather a departure from Moore's original. Joining the League in the film are Dorian Gray (as in The Picture of) and Tom Sawyer, who is all grown up and a member of the American Secret Service. Due to the film character of the invisible man not being public domain in the USA, the screenwriters invented Rodney Skinner, who stole the invisibility formula and turned himself transparent in order to become a criminal mastermind. Quatermain is recruited out of retirement in Africa, where he relocated after the death of his son, to lead the current generation of the League; Mina, Jekyll, Nemo, Skinner and Gray are likewise recruited, while Sawyer joins voluntarily. Jekyll and Hyde are a little different; Jekyll gets more screentime than Hyde and he has to ingest a secret formula to release the monster. Oh, and Mina is now a widowed vampire instead of a divorced Badass Normal. The League believes themselves to be in a race against time to stop terrorists from destroying a peace conference, but the reality is a little different. |
