Have any of you guys seen this: not a real movie---yet---but an Idea! for one. Perhaps we should get the team that did LWW to do it, instead of PJ.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

The next project is the Hobbit (which apparently New Line wont let Jackson do) as well as a 'second prequel dealing with events leading up to LOTR. What the second prequel is, they aren't saying. I believe I read somewhere that it is the events surrounding the Hobbit (like the White Council getting rid of the Necromancer), but there's always a very very small chance that it could be the Silmarillion (or at least part of it like the Akallabeth and the beginning of the kingdoms of Men in Middle Earth)

Personally, I think they could pull off the 'Ardalambion' version if they wanted to, and got the right people behind it. At least a live-action/3D-CG Hobbit could help get that fro-haired cartoon version out of our heads. :toothy-grin:

Ideally? Ians Holme & Malcom reprising their roles as Bilbo and Gandalf, respectively, and Andy Serkis coming back as Gollum, the Agent Smith guy as "E for Elrond" (well, okay, how about just as Elrond?), and one could even slip Mr. Bloom in for a cameo (make it brief, please!) in the Green-Elves' palace in Mirkwood. After all, as the King's Son of Mirkwood, he would have had no small part in the capture and imprisonment of Thorin and his companions. And thinking of the dwarves: Rhys-Davies as Gloin (father of Gimli).

Do you mean to say that you three come from a round world (round like a ball) and you've never told me!

I heartily agree: keep the casting director but can Mr. Denham---er, Jackson. To paraphrase: "He always destroys the things he loves, and all for the price of an admission ticket." (Well, King Kong wasn't so bad, but there was little subtlety to lose in that one.)
