Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Disturbingly attractive because of, among other reasons, he's a smartass.

Bon, the friend I saw it with also used the Dr. Christmas defense. Talk about faint praise and damnation.

Thrive to spite them

What's this LOTR "prequel" the article kept refering to?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Silmarillion, I assume.

No, The Hobbit.

They say:

The Hobbit or a second proposed Rings prequel film

I assume the second one is the Silmarillion.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well, they're about 15 years late to hire David Lean for the project, so I'm interested to find out just who the studio thinks will be able to do another film set in Middle Earth that won't seem horribly inferior to Jackson's movies. Do they even own the New Zealand sets for the Shire, or are those the property of Wingnut Films?

PJ and FW's letter to TORN.

I wonder if the prequel is what they(MGM) were talking about when they said stuff about using material from the footnotes.

We send our very best wishes to whomever has the privilege of making The Hobbit and look forward to seeing the film on the big screen.

Bzzt! Wrong, Peter!

We got to go there - but not back again ...

Aw.
