A new hope
Surely, many of you have already read the new update of McKellen´s webpage. i want to focus only in one question now:

Re: A new hope
Perhaps we "purist" might also find hope in the fact that more footage is filmed than is actually used. I'm crossing my fingers that the warrior princess bit might actually get left on the cutting-room floor.

Re: A new hope
I think tha it's better to be pesimistic and happily surprised then optimistic and dissapointed. I get this view after seeing what optimism did to so many in regards to TPM

Hmmm...
I recall reading a few days ago on theonering.net that many of Liv's scenes were cut because of her bad accent. Of course, you don't need to speak much in a battle scene.
Oh, I should point out at this point that I am not a strict purist. We should just be gald that this movie is not "based on" the Lord of the Rings, like so many other book conversions in the past. |

Re: Hmmm...
Good point.....the title of the movie could be George Lucas' Lord of The Rings.

Re: George Lucas' Lord of the Rings
If it were that it would be called Willow.
(For those who don't know: Lucas wanted to make LOTR, but couldn't get the rights, so he designed, maybe wrote, the Willow project instead. It was followed up by a book sequel called Shadow Moon) |

Re: George Lucas' Lord of the Rings
Wow!
I didn't know that. I loved Willow when it came out, but am not so sure how I feel about it now. I guess it was pretty good, if not too original. All I can say is that I'm glad Lucas didn't get the rights to LotR. That would have been a terrible mess, with Gollum walking around saying, "Meesa smokada ganja my precious" But, I'm curious about why he couldn't get the rights if an all but unknown director within 12 years or so manages to do it. Has Thorn Emi gone out of business or something, or did they have exclusive rights from Saul Zaents (sp?) to the trilogy for X amount of time which has now expired? |
