Kazuo Ishiguro's modern masterpiece book. I do hope they don't F it up.
Taika Waititi though. All I can remember is the diabolical Thor Ragnarok. Low expectations on this one. Hopefully I'm proved wrong. Somehow I doubt it.

To be fair. JoJo Rabbit, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, What we do in the Shadows, are all amazing. People forget how good he actually is.

I thought the trailer looked great. I'm looking forward to it.

For me not so much.
Subjective of course.

WWDlTS is a classic and by a long margin his best film.
HFTW is decent fun but nothing groundbreaking.
Boy is pretty good, again nothing groundbreaking and of course Flight of the Conchords is very accomplished and funny but JJR is hugely overrated imo and Thor Love and Thunder is terrible (I put Ragnarok above but meant Love & Thunder) Ragnarok is decent if throwaway.

See him take on this book just doesn't fill me enthusiasm
