The “Timeline” novel doesn’t explicitly say so, but it suggests there’s little time for cute little romances. And in the case of wartime, constant danger and fear. The novel’s message is that the past is so different from our own time that to venture there would mean nonstop confusion. Friel ( “Pushing Daisies”) benefits from her French accent, and Butler brings admirable energy.īut it’s also an example of how “Timeline” discards Crichton’s lesson about medieval times. Marek and Anna Friel’s 14 th century Claire embark on a romance, which is fine in and of itself. Misrepresenting history (and Crichton’s book) Especially when they could’ve made thickly Scottish-accented Gerard Butler (as Marek) into the son. It’s guffaw-worthy that surfer dude Paul Walker (as Chris) is the son of thickly Scottish-accented Billy Connolly (as the Professor). Writers Jeff Maguire and Greg Nolfi add in a father-son relationship and a romance. Stars: Paul Walker, Gerard Butler, Frances O’Connor Writers: Jeff Maguire, George Nolfi (screenplay) Michael Crichton (novel)
