I was on the IMdb pro (better filtering, ribbed for your pleasure), looking up something and it occured to me that no, au contraire mon frère (that is so spelled wrong - not anymore). There are still things a comin' up for the fandom geek. First of all, once New Line gets tired of dicking around or starts losing money (perhaps when they discover that King Kong is a lame ass story no matter how realistic the damn ape looks) they not only have The Hobbit available, they have the awesome series of His Dark Materials (Unlike the Hobbit, this one has been announced), kinda like Narnia for people tall enough to ride the big kid rides, supposedly its in pre prod. but that's iffy considering the amount of Jac(*& Off going on at New Line regarding anything even remotely controversial, you know, like actually filming something. I didn't have a lot of time, but when I get the chance I'll do a more extensive search. I did inadvertantly find out one more thing. Paramount has reannounced the preproduction of Star Trek the prequel and set the release date for 2007. Now I know they've done this once too often but this time, they actually have a script!
Oh, and the Underworld sequel is filming.

I've heard the His Dark Materials Trilogy was being filmed. They did have a director lined up ( can't remember who) but he quit because New Line decided the wanted all reference to religion removed from the screen play.

If any of you have read the book you know how hard/wierd that is.

Actually, its three books, The Golden Compass is the one they're not filming yet since Chris Weiz dropped out in December because New Line wanted to lose any and all references to satan. No new director has been signed and no one is working as a cast member on either His Dark Materials or The Golden Compass, so unless its listed at SAG under Hootie Gets a Shape Shifter, unfortunately, its not filming yet. I wish it was, it would be an awesome movie.

Incidentally, thanx,

Actually, I think Narnia is going to be pretty darn cool.

Have you seen the teaser?

[ghettoelleth]

oooh, Nancy almost cursed. I knew I was gonna catch wind from someone. Yes it will and yes I have, just meant that the HDM trilogy was a bit more sophisticated is all. Sort of like the difference between the Hobbit and the trilogy, not better, just different.

i remember reading both narnia and the philip pullman series - they were both awesome. and underworld 2 is going to probably suck, but then again, that's what they say about ALL the movie i like.

[Shanalir]

of course, in my experience (and that of most people I know) the movies the critics hate are the ones that give the fans what they want. My sister always said that that was why "Lost in Space" got such cruddy reviews. (She's a big fan, too)

[KhazarKhum]

How can you forget the Harry Potter movies coming up??????

[ghettoelleth]

Damn Khaz! And I was almost there. Now I have to start all over again.

[Elentari]

That means we will have both HP and narnia at the end of the year to look forward to?

hmmm...

Is His Dark Materials that trilogy with the Amber Lunet (SP?) and the magic knife???

Elentari, being stoopid.
