But if done right... this could be a fairy tale movie that would stand the test of time like The Wizard of Oz.
You obviously haven't read the book. I really don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but the main character goes through a journey to become an Alchemist, but there is someone else in the book who is an Alchemist as well. The title could refer to either one really. Fishbourne is WAY too old to play the main character. Read the book.
