This is SO LAME!!!
“In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming The Hobbit, I am faced with the hardest decision of my life,” del Toro told a “Lord of the Rings” fan website.
CRAP! All I could do was picture the imagery of “Pan’s Labyrinth” superimposed on Tolkien’s rich world.
Oh well, I felt Del Toro was as good a choice as Peter Jackson. We’ll see if somebody comes up to accept the project, or if it just languishes at the studio…
TWO part? I love me some Tolkien, but that seems one too many.
I dunno, Fantasy stories tend to be a little dense, by breaking it up I suspect it would give it a more natural flow.
Of course who knows until the film is made (or never made in this case…)
I caught Pan’s Labyrinth on cable and immediately bought it. Fantastic movie.
