J.R.R.
Tolkien's classic is brought to live action in this epic
undertaking by Peter Jackson. Got to give a Hawaii411.com hand to
him for having the guts to translate this best-seller masterpiece to
film. He's also doing something brand new for movies... Shooting
all three of the series at once. They will then be released
"rapid fire" style to audiences each Christmas over the next 3
years.
I'm a big fan of the books. I've read them over and over again
and will eventually pass them down to my children. The cartoon
version disappointed me... Too simplistic... It just didn't touch on
enough things that the book explored. The characters were not
revealed in the cartoon version. The character study done within
the books is the core of what makes The Hobbit series so darn good.
I've viewed the trailer, and it looks pretty exciting. Spectacular
effects, awesome makeup (I've always thought Liv Tyler looked like an
elf!), and freaky orcs. I hope that Director Peter Jackson will
not spend all of his time on the computer graphics aspect of the books
and concentrate more on the character details.
The Fellowship of the Ring comes out on December 19, 2001. I'll be
waiting to see the result. One thing I'm wondering is how long the
movie will be. If you go strictly by the book, my guess is that
audiences will go in Monday and come out Wednesday morning. I
wonder what scenes will be edited, and if that will affect the movie.
"I’ve spent seven years of my life on this project so far,"
he notes, "pouring my heart into every single aspect of it. But I
think that’s the least we owe to Tolkien and the legions of fans
around the globe. They deserve our very best efforts." Jackson
said. Lets hope he does the series justice! If not, at the
very least it will bring thousands of children down to middle earth, and
into the fellowship of Hobbit fans.
