Allow me to introduce Paul Bettany playing the part of Dustfinger, a character from the book Inkheart. Dustfinger is a fire juggler. Brendan Fraser, Helen Mirrin and a host of very interesting stars are in this 2009 production.
The book is about a man named MO who is a silver tongue. When he reads from a book aloud the characters enter the reader's world in the flesh. He discovered his ability by accident when he read from Inkheart to his wife. She disappeared into the book and the bad guy escaped. (A kinder looking bad guy would be hard to name). The search ensues for another printing of Inkheart so that Mo can read the characters back into the book.
Dustfinger is one of the characters trying desperately to get back to his family in Inkheart.
The bad guy needs Mo to read him some treasure. He already has a reader who has an unfortunate stutter so his characters come out wrong with print on their faces or missing bits or extra bits...erk.
I may have to breakdown and read the book, I enjoyed the DVD.
