One of the good things about Pacino, is that he rarely if ever ridicules teh characters he portrays - his interpretations are not caricatures. As such i have faith that something good may come out of this.
True, but if the film is going to be aimed at children, as the book is, it's not liable to be a particularly complex portrayal of him either. Then again, if it's a kids book it probably won't be demonic either.

I think I'm going to have to buy the book and read it! Just to see what kind of treatment he was given.
