City of Ember

I stumbled across this movie trailer this evening. It is apparently based on the first book of the Book of Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau. I had not even heard of the books, much less read them, before seeing the trailer so I have no idea whether it is a good bad or indifferent adaptation of the story.

It does however, look to be an interesting movie. Visually interesting and a story that could work well. Let's hope it has a little more substance than the Golden Compass movie.
