Sort of OP here (thanks again to the secret harvester who did the hard work) and I want more versions because no-one’s done it right. I love the story but hardly any of the film adaptations are watchable more than once, and even that’s a struggle for most of them. Also, would you have been happy to only have the Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings movie?

It’s not as though my wishing for more adaptations is gonna make it happen. If that were the case I would’ve wished for a different director, scenic designer, costume designer, and actors in the 2004 movie, and that rat Phantom never got made at all. And the version with Jeremy Irons as Erik had made it further than the drawing board. And so on.

There are lots of books I love that will never have film or tv adaptations. I can wish for multiple films based on all of them and they won’t change a thing.

I feel the same way you do. I've seen or own all the versions I'm aware of (even the Hungarian one with Jane Seymour), and it's sad that for me, as a book purist, the most faithful to the original remains the animated version! And even that has some pretty big departures...

Anyway, I would be thrilled if del Toro took on the project. I think his style and directorial "voice" would be pretty close to perfect, as well as Doug Jones being my #1 choice for a book-canon Erik.
