In Reply to: I'm sure there will be a future epic entitled "Lord of the Rings Episode IV - The Scouring of the Shire" posted by Dalton on June 28, 2004 at 14:54:59:
BTW, Peter Jackson is apparently attempting to do the Kong remake correctly, setting it in the early 1930's, the same period as in the original RKO movie. It's bound to be a tough shoot though. Doing a period film entails meticulous attention to detail; getting the settings and colloquel dialogue right are crucial to suspension of disbelief. We'll see if he pulls it off with the kind of gusto and vision he brought to LoTR. Jackson may surprise his relentless critics; he's a much more gifted and accomplished Director than some folks are willing to give him credit.AuPh

- It's premature to discuss his remake of King Kong as being a flop, but he'll probably do the Hobbit next regardless. - Audiophilander 09:08:00 06/29/04 (0)
