Remember when...
…we had no idea about how the films would turn out?
Here's a link to an August 2000 Salon.com article previewing the Rings films. Many of you might have read this article way back then, but it’s all the more interesting now, when read with 20/20 hindsight. For instance, consider this quote: “Let’s say the first one stiffs, or is just mediocre,” [Cinescape editor Steve] Hockensmith says. “The whole thing could be quite a humiliation by the time the third one comes out. New Line are really sticking their necks out for something that is not a sure thing.” There’s lots more of that kind of speculation, good and bad. Check it out if you have the time — it’s a fun time capsule. |

This was an interesting time capsul for me, as I wasn't here when it all began. It sher was fun to see what people said before the movies were out, and to see how they were tied up imbatween the movie fans and book fans so much. I geuss PJ pulled it off-as far as $ gose. As for the fans of the books, I geuss that's all our own personall opinion, isn't it?

One thing that I found funny is that the director of the Matrix was blasting PJ and New Line for shooting all three movies at the same time saying they were nuts. And guess what he did with the last two Matrix movies, He filmed both of them at the same time.
