Invasion of the fantasy movies

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Here's a link to an interesting article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about future fantasy films.

It seems there are a number of firm commitments on future films, so much so you wonder if they will oversaturate the market. As the article notes:
"For all the A-list fantasy projects, there are bound to be pale imitators - elves with the glue visibly oozing from their pointy-ear prosthetics.
Star Wars launched a boom in science-fiction epics, offers Jeffrey Walker, a Hollywood marketing exec who specializes in sci-fi and fantasy. "It was the same after Indiana Jones, with adventure movies. And the same thing after Batman, with superhero movies."
Predictably, Walker says, "there was mixed success.' "

Christmas 2005 should be "interesting", with both Eragon
and Disney's Narnia set to debut. And perhaps another Harry Potter?
