The decision came down in March 2010, with the report noting the change was made to give the movie a broader comedic appeal. Back when Steven Soderbergh was still attached to direct the sports drama, comedian-turned-actor Demetri Martin was cast as Paul DePodesta, the real-life figure on which the Brand character was later based. Jonah Hill was nominated for multiple awards, including an Oscar and Golden Globe, for his portrayal of Peter Brand in Moneyball, but the Superbad star wasn’t the first choice to play Brad Pitt’s on-screen assistant. Demetri Martin Was Initially Cast In The Role That Eventually Went To Jonah Hill ![]() ![]() The problem: the beacon is encased in amber! Stan Moon, aka. Though I didn't love this book as much as the others, I'm still looking forward to seeing how the story ends.Ĭontinuing their quest to light the five beacons and defeat the evil Mimic, Oona Lee, An Tzu, and Jax Amboy arrive on Salassandra to light the yellow beacon. After all, there will be loose plot ends to tie up and character arcs to finish. I'm hoping that the next book (which will be the last in the series) will seem a lot more substantial. This made the pacing seem a bit uneven for me. And yet, one sequence near the end was so drawn out as to seem like filler. I did, however, feel like there were some parts that were a bit rushed. The illustrations are still lovely and detailed, and the whole look of the book is great. I do like that we finally got some backstory for An Tzu here, and his character is now a lot more fleshed out (which is somewhat ironic, considering his vanishing illness is still progressing). Her friends, Jax and An Tzu, are still at her side. Oona Lee is working her way through the Five Worlds, lighting the beacons as she goes. ![]() The story is still building to its ultimate conclusion.
