http://www.showfax.com/role_selection.cfm?l=1&t=1&p=114090 Some character sheets were published. Already I can tell they're gutting this project and starting from scratch. Crying or Very sad

Way to ruin it STARZ! Haters gonna hate of course but die hards and even the most general fan of the series aren't gonna like these changes if they stick.

Thanks for the link Yuki. Mireille's character wasn't looking too bad, but then I got to Kirika's. Sad I don't know who the heck this Lance guy is, but I'm guessing he'll be the main antagonist (Altena), cause you could never have a religious female nutcase as the main antagonist! And then there's no Chloe... and there's a ton of new characters.

Sigh. It may work. But it won't be Noir. I thought it was particularly hilarious that they tried to convey Soldats as some sort of Islamic cult thing Laughing

so... did i read the character descriptions right, this is going to be set in 60's paris?

based on the character descriptions, it doesn't really sound like noir at all. my expectations are now significantly lowered.

Well, it's definitely Hollywood movie material, but are we gonna get the "kissi" between Chloe and Yuki? Just kidding.

I think it could work or they can screw it up. Look get hat director for the L'a Professional.
