2 More Days/Variety

Two more days, until the Internet hour, with Guillermo and Peter Jackson. It's Saturday at 3, and I'm nervous and excited. If I get the chance, I'm going to ask Jackson, why he felt the need to have a scene in Return of The King, Where Gandalf and The Witch King have an encounter, and The Witch King basically instill fear and breaks Gandalfs Staff! Never happened in the Book. And while I understand for filming purposes, the need to embellish or add something to move the story along. But was that really necessary? I don't think so. The only small blemish in otherwise a perfect movie. I'm thinking of putting out an Ad in Variety. Does anyone know how expensive that is? An open letter to Guillermo del Toro,,,,Can I be in the Hobbit? Then I can list my reasons. That idea has a certain appeal, can you imagine who will read it. And who will read my name and my story. All of Hollywood reads Variety. Next I will write Guillermo a letter and post it to his blog. I will definitely post it here also,, Namarie for Now.

The Hobbit

The Hobbit has a director , Guillermo del Toro. Variety is reporting, that he has signed the dotted line. While I'm ecstatic that The Hobbit is finally going to be made, I'm sad that Peter Jackson will not be directing. Nothing against del Toro. I enjoyed Pans Labyrinth, and Hell Boy. But the Look and feel of LOTR under Jackson, was absolutely beautiful. I'm nervous the Hobbit will look and feel completely different. like the cartoons. The Bakshi and the other one. Different directions, and completely different looks. The set up is 2 movies leading up to the Fellowship of the Rings, which I think is cool, some of the same actors can be in it, Mckellan, Mortenson and even Orlando Bloom. I think the Hobbits would be too old, by now. But 2 movies hopefully hitting the big screen in 2011 and 2012. no script written yet, and post production sometime next year. Plenty of time to get my butt down there, and get in as an extra. Fingers Crossed!
