Should Peter Jackson do a movie for The Hobbit? - Page 2

-shakes fist- screw you!

I think the hobbit would be a challange for any movemaker. Then again, LoTR would also be considered that... but it wasn't made well...

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!!!

Yes, I suppose that'll work too.

BeardofPants · 04-05-2003, 11:19 PM

It had better damned well work; I spent ages making those 'o's look perfectly anguished. (Okay, 5 seconds, but still...)

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-05-2003, 11:32 PM

How many seconds in an age?

Ninquelote · 04-06-2003, 01:52 PM

Depends on how long the age is. The age of 'O's?

It's up to PJ. I doubt he'll want to do it anytime soon.

He probably will retire rich after the LoTR movies have finished.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-07-2003, 03:52 PM

I doubt it. Take a vacation from movie business, certainly, but who doesn't want more money?

Ninquelote · 04-07-2003, 06:35 PM

Yeah, but he might screw it up.

Ninquelote · 04-07-2003, 06:37 PM

I mean, on a much larger scale than the LoTR movies. If that's possible.

BeardofPants · 04-07-2003, 07:42 PM

I doubt he's gonna do anything Tolkien for at least 20 years. I mean, he's been working on LOTR for what? the last five years?

olsonm · 04-07-2003, 07:51 PM

His next project is reported to be a remake of King Kong.

Bombadillo · 04-07-2003, 10:12 PM

Can't he do anything original? Instead of rewriting and remaking all the good stuff?

Anyway, should PJ make a Hobbit movie? For the love of God NO!!!!!! But no doubt someone should. Someone truly geeky and who's a close follower of the entire storyline. When I read anything, I picture the story like it is a movie, and I know The Hobbit would make a damn good movie if only there was someone good behind the camera.

So if anyone here isn't yet sure what to do with their life, I suggest filming The Hobbit. Honestly. Someone please do it, before Jackson gets any more ideas.

Should peter jackson ever make another movie in his life? No.

I quite agree with BoP and you. He'd just mess up the entire movie.

druss · 04-26-2003, 09:45 AM

you are having a laugh.....
make the hobbit into a film..mmmm could work.
BUT the silmarillion!!!!!!!! no chance. we spend most of the holidays watching crass adaptations of biblical movies (and still haven't got past,metaphorically speaking,the first chapter). to do the silmarillion any justice at all would take 24/7 for a year. so leave off the idea of tolkiens finest hour being made into any form of visual medium. good grief its taken me years to comprehend the book.

IthilienPrincess · 04-26-2003, 03:51 PM

Peter Jackson should totally do a movie for The Hobbit. That'd be awesome. Kinda like how they made Star Wars in reverse, like went back to episode 1, if you get what i'm saying, which you probbly don't cuz it doesn't make sense, but i know what i mean so yeah. I think it'd be really successful, considering he's already got tons of people hooked on LOTR.

IthilienPrincess · 04-26-2003, 03:56 PM

Ok, i agree that he'd mess it up, but now that he's done the LOTR, i don't think anyone else will "step into his territory" so to say. So if a movie's gonna be made, it's probably gonna be by him. Maybe by the time he decides to do that he'll have gotten his act together.
