There was reportedly a lot of pressure from the studio to update it, but Snyder stuck to his guns and said no. He's also planning on filming all the Black Freighter stuff, even though he thinks it won't make the cut. He plans on putting it on the DVD.So far I haven't heard any criticism leveled against this that wasn't leveled against Lord of the Rings and I'd say that adaptation managed to be a commercial and critical success and please most of the fans. Mind you, this is a different director and property, but it seems like Snyder has his stuff together and may turn this into something worth seeing.Invariably there are changes in translation that I disagree with, but that's the director's job. To interpret the work his own way. Sin City was a very faithful adaptation. So faithful, I could see nothing of R. Rodriguez in it. I prefer stuff like Jackson's LotR that's obviously his take on it, with his stamp on it.</blockquote>
