EDIT: Never mind, I seem to have a different sort of tool now that can also split threads.
I have moved the posts concerning the LoTR movies to this thread:What all was wrong with PJ's LoTR which I think fits your discussion better. (Feel free to PM me if you disagree and we'll work something out.)

Guillermo del Toro (Pan' Labyrinth) may or may not direct this film:
http://the-hobbit-movie.com/2008/02/...not-confirmed/ Loved Pan's Labyrinth. He would be excellent I think. Far better director than Jackson on previous form. |

Ouch! That's gonna cost New Line big time. I wonder whether this new money dispute will hinder the filming of the Hobbit.

I don't know... I am not much of a movie goer.
I only hope it won't be PJ... again. I also think a UK director would be better than an American for Tolkien's books: I like British adaptation of classics. |

I don't think the PJ movies were bad at all. A true to the book movie would've been like a 30 hr movie (including Hobbit). I don't know anyone that would sit around watching a movie that long, except us nerds of course

True to the book doesn't necessarily equal longer. Not at all. In fact, most of the bad stuff in PJ's movies were the things added in from his own imagination, not the parts of Tolkien that he left out.

Enough w/the PJ bashing! Back to the Hobbit movie. Is it progressing at this time or not?!

Bashing? We've been polite in this thread. BTW, I've heard no indications that the movie is NOT progressing, so I assume it still is.

Quick debate with the mods in the ether: does this thread go in the "movies" forum or The Hobbit forum?
In any case, I heard from my brother (he is Captain Of Movie News that the producers and the Tolkiens were not agreeing on some things and that production for the movie has paused.

Just like the other three movies, I don't think the Tolkien Estate can do anything about whether these movies get made. What then *can* do is deny the rights to produce any Silm, HoME, or UT material. That will leave New Line with The Hobbit and Jackson/Walsh/Boyens' imagination as source material.

But surely Jackson can't just go around making up new storylines for Middle-Earth...
I've heard that he is developing an "in between" story to take place between The Hobbit and LOTR. Now, in more scholarly hands I would be ok with this. But I thought RotK was a failure in comparison to FotR, and I sort of gave up on him making The Hobbit faithfully. I expect it to be overblown and pompous. *sigh* And The Hobbit is my favorite JRRT book.

I'm honestly not sure how it all works from a legal standpoint. All I know is that the movie rights to LotR and The Hobbit were sold. Movie rights to other Tolkien Middle Earth works were not. How much invented material can be added to Hobbit movies in the name of artistic license without infringing on rights? And what if some of that material is pulled from UT or HoME? I don't know the answers to those questions but I would imagine the Tolkien Estate's lawyers do.

you mean Jackson & Jackson and co?
..that'd be a smart move ..esp if there were still any lingering resentment with New line over Royalties ... Last edited by Butterbeer : 12-21-2008 at 11:13 PM. |
