We, The Infected

I honestly wish this scene got included. It's amazing that LMI included references to the original book not shown in the original 2008 film, like a mention to Tommy and a deleted scene that reveals why Abby was transformed

I haven't seen the stage adaptation, but I did buy the script on Kindle and read it before Jack Thorne became famous with Adolescence. It's quite fascinating to see the changes Thorne made to the novel and the 2008 film—like Oskar talking to his father about Eli, Oskar trying to reconcile with Johnn...

So, E10 , then. I'm not sure what to say about it. I think that, for me, it feels a bit too fast and messy in the way things develop with Mark, Ellie, Claire, and Peter, but that's more of a gut feeling than a real complaint. I like the episode overall and the way everything comes crashing down mak...

Kare and Lina were excellent actors and had an amazing chemistry. If I made my adaptation of JAL's book, I would have them appear as nice cameos. I would use Lina as the girl on the bus whom Oscar finds very similar to Eli and Kare as the nice drunk guy who interacts with Oskar on the subway when he...

I thought Kristoffer Joner played Hakan for the pilot? Unless you meant Mads as a fancast? He would be great though. Sorry, my stupid mind played by me. I don't know why, but I confused Thomas Kretchsman with Mads Mikkelsen. Anyway, I 100% agree Mads, despite being too handsome, would make a great ...

Well, you're free to have that opinion, of course. I have my own long list of problems with it, but I still got enjoyment out of it and can appreciate what Andrew Hinderaker and the rest were going for in trying to, as you say, do something creative and different with the story. But that's just me....

It just came back to my mind the first attempt of adapting LTROI to tv-series format by TNT back in 2016, a project that ended with only one pilot episode that did not convince those in charge to give it the green light. The truth is that the cancellation of the show caused a curious mix of sadness ...

Well, I don't think the Showtime version is that bad. Maybe as an indepent product it can be entertaining. But as an adaptation of JAL's masterpiece, it's simply an unfunny joke But as for things I'd change, I'm not sure. Depends on the format. I don't know that adapting everything 100% from the no...

No, Tommy doesn't have any siblings in the novel. I'm guessing the writer confused him with Jonny.

Thanks for the aclaration. Someone should edit that article, tbh. Mistakes like thisshouldn't be allowed in Earth's most popular wiki

I just read the Wikipedia article dedicated to LTROI characters. Even though that article is honestly quite decent and even separates characters that only appear in the novel, the swedish film, or the american remake, the part about Tommy has a quite bizarre affirmation at the end: "Tommy is a young...
