The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, also promoted as LXG, is a 2003 steampunk [5] /dieselpunk superhero film loosely based on the first volume of the comic book series of the same name by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. Distributed by 20th Century Fox, it was released on 11 July 2003 in the United States, and 17 October in the United Kingdom. It was directed by Stephen Norrington and stars Sean Connery, Naseeruddin Shah, Peta Wilson, Tony Curran, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Jason Flemyng, and Richard Roxburgh. It was Connery's final role in a theatrically released live-action film before his retirement in 2006 and death in 2020.

Contents

As with the comic book source material, the film features prominent pastiche and crossover themes [6] set in the late 19th century. It features an assortment of fictional literary characters appropriate to the period who act as Victorian era superheroes. It draws on the works of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Bram Stoker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H. Rider Haggard, Ian Fleming, Herman Melville, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe, Gaston Leroux, and Mark Twain, albeit all adapted for the film.

It received generally unfavorable reviews but was financially successful, grossing over $179 million worldwide in theaters, and earning rental revenue of $48.6 million and DVD sales (as of 2003) of $36.4 million, against its $78 million budget. [7]

Plot

In 1899, a terrorist group led by the "Fantom" robs the Bank of England for Leonardo da Vinci's blueprints of Venice's foundations, kidnaps German scientists, and destroys a Zeppelin factory in Berlin. With the British and German Empires threatening to start a world war, a British emissary named Sanderson Reed travels to Kenya Colony to recruit retired adventurer and hunter Allan Quatermain. He initially refuses until assassins attempt to kill him. After defeating them, he agrees. In London, Quatermain meets Reed's boss "M", who explains that the Fantom intends to profit from the world war and intends to attack the world's leaders at a conference in Venice in three days. To prevent this, M forms the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and recruits Quatermain, Captain Nemo, vampire scientist Mina Harker, and invisible thief Rodney Skinner.

The League travels to the London Docklands to recruit Dorian Gray, Mina's former lover who is immortal due to a missing cursed portrait. The Fantom and his assassins attack the League, but they fend them off with help from U.S. Secret Service Agent Tom Sawyer. After Gray and Sawyer join the League, they capture Edward Hyde in Paris, who transforms back into his alter ego Dr. Henry Jekyll, who also joins the League after being offered amnesty for his crimes. While traveling to Venice in Nemo's submarine, the Nautilus , Jekyll experiences trouble controlling Hyde while the other Leaguers deduce a mole is on board after discovering a camera's flash powder residue in the wheelhouse and someone stole a vial of Jekyll's transformation formula. Suspicion falls on Skinner, but he is nowhere to be found.

The Nautilus arrives in Venice as several hidden bombs detonate, causing the city to collapse. Sawyer uses one of Nemo's automobiles to signal him to launch a missile at a key building to stop the destruction while Quatermain confronts the Fantom, who is unmasked as M before escaping again. Dorian shoots Nemo's first mate Ishmael and steals the Nautilus's exploration pod, but Ishmael successfully warns the League of his treachery before dying. While pursuing Dorian, the League uncover a phonograph recording that Dorian left revealing M stole Dorian's painting to enlist his aid in manipulating the League to gain Quatermain's help in capturing Hyde, a skin sample from Skinner, Mina's blood, Jekyll's formula, and photos of Nemo's science while an inaudible audio frequency activates several bombs hidden aboard the Nautilus. Jekyll and Hyde join forces to drain the flooded sections while Skinner secretly messages the League, informing them he snuck aboard the exploration pod.

Using Skinner's directions, the League reaches northern Mongolia and locate M's mountain fortress. They soon regroup with Skinner, who reveals M took the kidnapped scientists' families hostage to force them to mass-produce M's work and he intends to sell a sample case to competing nations. The League split up, with Nemo and Hyde rescuing the scientists and their families, Skinner planting bombs to destroy the fortress, Mina fighting and killing Dorian with his painting, and Quatermain and Sawyer working to capture M, who Quatermain deduces is Professor James Moriarty. Nemo and Hyde complete their task, but are overwhelmed by M's henchman, Dante, after he overdoses on Hyde formula until Skinner's bombs detonate, killing Dante while the pair escape. Quatermain corners M, but an invisible Reed takes Sawyer hostage. Quatermain kills Reed, but M fatally stabs Quatermain before Sawyer kills him in turn. Quatermain dies, wishing Sawyer luck in the new century.

As the League ensure Quatermain is buried in Kenya, they recall how a witch doctor promised him that Africa would never let him die before agreeing to continue using their powers for good. The witch doctor arrives and performs a ritual that summons an unnatural thunderstorm over Quatermain's grave.

Cast

Production

Writing

Because 20th Century Fox was unable to secure the rights to the title character of H. G. Wells' 1897 novel, the script referred to "The Invisible Man" as "An Invisible Man", and his name was changed from Hawley Griffin to Rodney Skinner. The Fu Manchu character was dropped. At the request of the studio, the character of Tom Sawyer was added to increase the film's appeal to American audiences and the youth demographic, a move that producer Don Murphy initially dismissed as a "stupid studio note" but later described as "brilliant". [8]

Casting

After previously turning down the roles of the Architect in The Matrix trilogy and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the latter of which would reportedly have earned him $450 million, Connery agreed to appear as Quatermain for $17 million, a sum that left the filmmakers with little flexibility to attract other high-profile stars for the ensemble cast. [9] [10] [8]

A character named Eva Draper (Winter Ave Zoli), daughter of German scientist Karl Draper, remained visible in promotional materials despite not appearing in the film's final cut.[ citation needed ]

Filming

Principal photography took place in Hungary, [11] Malta, and the Czech Republic. [12]

The studio pressured filmmakers for a summer release because Master and Commander was slated for fall release. The production encountered delays when a special effects set failed to perform as intended, forcing the filmmakers to quickly look for another effects shop. [8]

Connery reportedly had many disputes with director Stephen Norrington. [13] Norrington did not attend the opening party and, on being asked where the director could be, Connery is said to have replied, "Check the local asylum". Norrington reportedly did not like the studio supervision and was "uncomfortable" with large crews. [8]

Connery claimed that making the film, and the quality of the finished product, convinced him to permanently retire from acting in movies. He told The Times: "It was a nightmare. The experience had a great influence on me, it made me think about showbiz. I get fed up dealing with idiots". [14] As of 2023, Norrington and screenwriter James Dale Robinson have not worked on a live-action, feature-length film since The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.[ citation needed ]

Lawsuit

In 2003, Larry Cohen and Martin Poll sued 20th Century Fox for intentionally plagiarizing their script Cast of Characters, which they had pitched to the studio between 1993 and 1996. Noting that the scripts shared public-domain characters that had not appeared in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novel series, [15] the suit accused Fox of soliciting the series as a smokescreen. [16] [17] [18] Fox denied the allegations as "absurd nonsense" [18] but settled out of court, a decision Alan Moore believed "denied [him] the chance to exonerate" himself. [19]

Reception

Box office

The film opened at #2 behind Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl . [20] The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen grossed an estimated $66,465,204 in Canada and the United States, $12,603,037 in the United Kingdom, and $12,033,033 in Spain. Worldwide, the film took in $179,265,204. [21]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 17% based on reviews from 184 critics, with an average rating of 4/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Just ordinary. LXG is a great premise ruined by poor execution." [22] On Metacritic it has a score of 30% based on reviews from 36 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". [23] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of B−, on an A+ to F scale. [24]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film one star out of a possible four: "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen assembles a splendid team of heroes to battle a plan for world domination, and then, just when it seems about to become a real corker of an adventure movie, plunges into ... inexplicable motivations, causes without effects, effects without causes, and general lunacy". [25]

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone also gave it one star out of four, writing: "Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic". [26]

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C− grade. [27]

Empire magazine criticized its exposition and lack of character depth, giving it two stars out of five, and asserting that it "flirts dangerously close with one-star ignominy". [28]

Accolades

The film was nominated for two Saturn Awards for Best Fantasy Film and Peta Wilson for Best Supporting Actress but lost to both The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Finding Nemo respectively. [29]

Creators' response

In an interview with The Times , Kevin O'Neill, illustrator of the comics, said he believed the film adaptation was a critical failure because it was not respectful of its source material. He did not recognize the characters when reading the screenplay, and claimed that Norrington and Connery did not cooperate. Finally, O'Neill said that the movie's version of Allan Quatermain compared poorly to the character in the original comics, and that "the whole balance" was changed by "marginalizing Mina [Murray] and making her a vampire." [30]

The comics' author, Alan Moore, has generally been dissatisfied with the films based on his works, but thought that the reputations of the originals would not be affected by the quality of the adaptations. "As long as I could distance myself by not seeing them, enough to keep them separate, take the option money, I could be assured no one would confuse the two. This was probably naïve on my part." [31]

Home video

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen earned a total of $48,640,000 in rentals, including $14,810,000 from video rentals and $33,830,000 from DVD rentals. [32] DVD sales garnered $36,400,000. [32]

The movie was rereleased on Blu-ray in October 2018 by Fabulous Films. [33]

In other media

A novelization of the movie, written by Kevin J. Anderson, was published shortly before the film's release.

The soundtrack album,the score was composed by Trevor Jones and was released by Varèse Sarabande on iTunes, and later online. It was not sold in stores in the United States.

In the season 10 Family Guy episode "Amish Guy", Peter Griffin wants to ride a roller coaster based on the film called The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Ride.

Reboot

The Tracking Board reported in May 2015 that 20th Century Fox and Davis Entertainment had agreed to develop a reboot, in hope of launching a franchise, and that a search was underway for a director. [34] John Davis told Collider in an interview that the film would be "female-centric". [35] These plans were reportedly scrapped after the 2019 Disney–Fox merger. [36] However, The Hollywood Reporter revealed in May 2022 that the reboot was back on track as a Hulu release, with Justin Haythe writing, and producer Don Murphy returning, alongside Susan Montford and Erwin Stoff of 3 Arts Entertainment.
