yendiSo, not surprisingly, someone decided to do a new King Solomon's Mines pic (since Alan Quartermain is now in the public eye again). Cool -- we need more good adventure flicks, and we need to forget the mid-'80s version.
But instead of casting someone, oh, qualified for the roll, they've cast Patrick Swayze.
Wait. It gets worse.
It won't be seen on the big screen, where it belongs. It's being filmed for The Hallmark Channel.
Of course, there's nothing to prevent someone else from trying to do the project better. But this is not a good start.
At least there's a new Indy flick in two years.
