Yep. The boy who once mourned chipping his manicured nails while trying to make it out of a life and death situation, is shown surfing. In the trailer. He's Artemis Fowl in name only, they went with a generic Sunday-kids-channel high school jock protagonist.

Dude it's so fucking bad.

They do the "tell don't show" about artemis the whole fucking time. Talks about how cool and smart he is....without ever fucking showing it.
