When film studios suffer from hybris ...
Nov. 20th, 2006 10:16 amThis article sure shows how New Line think the greatness that is LOTR is coming from ... not from the dedicated team around Jackson/Walsh that's for sure.
Upon reading this I can't understand how studio bosses can be so stupid (okay, they can be but it is still an enigma to me and I have only found such stupidity with TV studio bosses so far and not movies *cough*Fox, SciFi*cough*).
Studios still think that by using a good director and a good production team they also make a good film. WRONG! Without the dedication and living and breathing of Peter Jackson and Veta etc. LOTR would have never been so wonderful as it is. A different director will bring a different approach to The Hobbit and the undisclosed prequel (Are they thinking about making Silmarillion???)
ARGH!!! I'm boykotting The Hobbit if any other than Peter Jackson is doing it.
