I'm kinda wondering how this one will look. I expect that will center
on the action of the story. IMO, the action was peripheral to the real
story in that novel.
I'm also curious if the pilots will be female (as Heinlein had them--for
superior reflexes, etc.). Carmen (I think that was her name) was cool. :-)
That is, if we even see or hear about the pilots...
On films in general, it would be nice to see more fair treatment of men
and women, but I think it's unreasonable to ask every film to do something
non-standard. That is, I think that it's condemnable that far too few
movies have strong female characters and far too many movies have only
stereotypical characterizations. I also think that a movie displaying
one or two stereotypes and/or not having a strong female (or male or black
or gay, etc.) is not necessarily condemnable by itself.
