Don't know how many of you pay attention to movie news, but Tom Sawyer is going to make an appearance this summer in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Based on an Alan Moore graphic novel (glorified comic), the movie will take characters from 18th/19th century literature and form a sort of "justice league" with them. Among the characters are Alan Quartermain (Sean Connery, collecting a paycheck), Mina Harker (from Dracula), and Dorian Gray (who is an "immortal"). Our own Tom Sawyer, all grown up, is now a gun-toting CIA agent. Tom's character was not originally in the comic, but the screenwriters felt they needed an American in the cast. I've seen the trailer, and seems it will probably be a decent popcorn flick. I hope y'all don't think less of me for posting this... Mike
