Is the news as good as they're saying it is?

The excitable boys at AICN seem to be all jacked up about the casting of the bloke what played Ian Curtis in 24 Hour Party People to play Phileas Fogg to Jackie Chan's Passepartout in the upcoming Around the World in 80 Days flick. Raving about what a genius he is and whatnot, they are. I was going to see it anyways, I saw The Tuxedo fer chrissakes, but does this mean I have a chance of seeing a decent movie?
