When i first read this through, the words.."Elijah Wood plays an asshole American student"..and i thought..oh god no, they hate it! Probably because i assumed he was talking about the guy and not his character..'whew'..
Oddly, in the book, he doesn't come across as an asshole, well, not to me anyway, though it's a while since i read it.. more an admiring protege rather than a 'narcissistic' know-all.. But the book was rather tame.. the film sounds anything but.. thank goodness..It'll be interesting to see how unappealing he makes himself.. can't wait!
