"Set in a version of Victorian Era England where many characters of fiction actually exist (indeed, their fictional characters are often people who really did exist), this is the story of a band of unusual figures brought together by the royal government, whom are famous literary figures (from our point of view): Dr. Jekyll, the Invisible Man, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker , and the adventurer famous for finding King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quatermain, who serves as the group's leader (though in the comic books, Ms. Harker, with her scarf-covered neck, is actually the leader), the youthful Dorian Gray, and their American liaison, Detective Thomas Sawyer. The reason for their being brought together is to foil a madman's ("The Fantom") evil plans for world domination by turning the nations of the world against each other in something called a "World War"." - Greg's Upcoming Movies

MOVIE REVIEW

It has been 43 years since Sean Connery first donned the role of James Bond, but he is still going strong. In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a sci-fi action movie based on a graphic novel, he plays a sharp-shooting British hero who seems as though he can survive just about any ordeal. He isn't James Bond, but aside from a few wrinkles and no female interests, he is just about the same, and he fits in the role like a hand in a glove.
