Honesty please message me your ideas and thoughts! I'm dying to talk to others about this new Alex Rider Tv series.
So... I just saw the trailer for the Alex Rider series and honesty I don't think its bad. NEVER did I think we'd get anything else after the 2006 movie.
However, I have a few questions and things I'm not super hyped about...
Some of it is things I talk about are thing I've read and heard so I'm not 100% sure if there true.
1. I heard they aged up Alex. I'm basically fine with that small change even though like Alex's whole thing is he's a 14 year old spy. Sometimes that has to happen in film.
2. I am not crazy on the actor playing Alex. I've read he's a good actor but I've never seen him act and honesty he looks 19 to 21 to me. I wished they'd casted a more teen/childlike actor. However, I might end up liking him when I watch the series.
3. They gender swapped 2 of the K- Unit... Aren't the SAS supposed to be men??? I don't think I like this change at all. I heard they made Ms. Jones white, which is fine and can be over looked since I heard they have other diverse characters. But I just don't see how SAS soilders bunked together can be turned into women.
4. I REALLY HOPE Jack has red hair. AND that she's not ridiculous like in the 2006 movie.
5. I heard somehow Yassen might appear?... I love Yassen but he's not suppose to show up yet. I mean as long as he not actively doing something related to the mission I'm fine with it but that's one of my pet peaves. In the 2006 movie I hated the fact they had Sabrina in the movie because she wasn't suppose to be introduced yet.
6. It seems the tone of the series is a lot darker than the 2006 movie. So I'm concerned on how it will play out since this is all about Point Blank. Like how are they going to lay the foundation of the show without making StormBreaker? Are they just gonna mention they already forced Alex on a mission before? What about Ian's death? Meeting K unit for the first time and training? Are they mergeing it with the 2nd book? So many questions...
7. I really want MI6 headquarters to be at the bank and like it's described in the book. The 2006 movie was ridiculous when showing HQ and Smithers. Or at least similar and not over the top. 8. Tom looks different than I imagined him, but that's fine.
Please once again message me so I can infer and talk with other fans. This series has been my favorite since 8th grade and I'm now going to college so close to 6 years now.
