And it will be a cluster fuck like the purported Jonny Quest movie and most of the superhero movies done by "true" fans. DARKER THAN AMBER (1970) had Rod Taylor as Travis McGee, Theodore Bikel as Meyer, the lovely Ahna Capri (ENTER THE DRAGON) and the always likable Big Bill Smith and Jane Russell as the Alabama Tigress. JDM liked the solid adaption of the novel. Maligned, but I think decently done for a possible pilot for a TV series was Travis McGee: The Empty Copper Sea with Sam Elliott as McGee, Gene Evans as Meyer, Barry Corbin as Sheriff Hack Ames, Richard Farnsworth as Van Harder, Geoffrey Lewis as John Tuckerman, Vera Miles as Julie Lawless, Katharine Ross as Gretel Howard.Doc Quatermasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738976798404747212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-89383423304110675002009-07-12T22:41:22.341-05:002009-07-12T22:41:22.341-05:00Would love to see this movie.
