Test screening reviews have been all over the board, but that's typical with a movie made from such beloved material. It certainly looks "quirky", which may be a good thing. At least they had the sense to avoid Americanizing it. I agree that some of the casting choices are great, some are "wait and see". It will be almost impossible not to compare whichever version we love with the new movie, though. Personally, I'm most interested to see how they crammed it all down to 2 hours.
