Ugh! (sorry ...) everything he does, it seems to me, is so overtly freudian *shiver*. He is good at the stunning visuals; it's just what he chooses to visualize that bothers me ...

 No, No, No ... think more adventure, exotic locales, famous actors, ground breaking special effects ... think -
Ray Harryhauser!!!
Okay ... I know he wasn't a director but it was still a good joke.

In all fairness though - Peter Jackson wasn't what I thought of as a great director when he did LOTR so it could be some unknown or someone known for a totally different kind of film and do a better job than one of the 'famous' ones.

And even after doing such a fab job with LotR he managed to fuck up King Kong in a major, unforgivable way...
As I was telling G, how about Soderberg?
G suggested Roman Polanski and I must admit the idea seems to come from left field so much that he might pull it off. 
Ridley Scott, and I'm thinking that old movie Legend as basis for this, but I'm wondering now if he's not just too big for it, Sir Ridley and all... you know, large scale and epic... not that The Hobbit isn't epic-ish but Bilbo's no Gladiator.
Paul Verhoven is a no-no, and so is Woody Allen. Can you imagine?
Terry Jones (hehehe! Had to throw it in there), Terry Gilliam, Clint Eastwood (another one suggested by G)...
do.

Okay *scribbles down not to buy that movie*

Hmmm but well, the way Gladiator was filmed just has something. That has potential for the epic feel to me. He has done many great and epic movies that I still would list him as a fav.
| Quote: | | Paul Verhoven is a no-no, and so is Woody Allen. Can you imagine? |
Actually yes, I can see Paul Verhoeven do it. I am so familair with his Dutch movies and track record that I know he can pull it off. He has a refined feel for drama and brings it to the screen grandly. He directed 12 episodes back in 1969 of the famed medieval series Floris. I think Rutger Hauer could bring in a lot as well.
I think Verhoeven would do a kick ass job with the Feanorians somehow. Just watch Flesh+Blood and well
How about Kevin Smith  Nobody has mentioned Mel Gibson (either a nay or a yay) yet..
I haven't see it suggested yet, but how about the director of King Arthur, Antoine Fuqua?

Danny Devito gets my vote.
Then he can atleast talk to the actors without stooping.

If Mel Gibson did it would they all have to speak in Elvish, Westron and the Black Speech?

Oh, me too. I was just trying to do the pros and cons...

Ha, see, I haven't seen those and I'm not really familiar with his body of work. I'm just thinking Total Recall and Starship Troopers and I just can't reconcile that style with what might work with The Hobbit.
| Rhapsody wrote: | | I think Verhoeven would do a kick ass job with the Feanorians somehow. Just watch Flesh+Blood and well |
Too true. I had forgotten about that movie. Wow. I need to rewatch that. Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh. One of my favourite movies growing up.
| Rhapsody wrote: | | How about Kevin Smith Nobody has mentioned Mel Gibson (either a nay or a yay) yet.. |
Haven't seen Gibson's latest... actually, didn't see The Passion of the Christ either. So can't really say how far he's developped as a director.
While we're on actors-turned-directors, let's keep Costner away.
| Rhapsody wrote: | | I haven't see it suggested yet, but how about the director of King Arthur, Antoine Fuqua? |
I don't know, I guess it could work... but King Arthur did miss something. Worth seeing, don't get me wrong, but it lacked something.
I certainly don't want Terrence Malick! While the cinematography was beautiful for The New World, the rest was ::snore:: boring. What about M. Night Shyamalan? ::shudders:: Don't get me wrong, I SEE DEAD PEOPLE (The Sixth Sense) was pretty good but what followed was more pretentious and not really 'delivering'. I'm thinking Signs and The Village.
do.

Yes, Russell Crowe!

I agee, it lacked heart. Somehow it had heat, action, and character, but no heart - and no sense of humor.
Terry Gilliam's an interesting idea  ... but he would see the dark element in everything. One thing I love about LOTR is that the early segments in Hobbiton are just so sweet. There's very little foreboding, no irony, nothing dark at all. All the darkness is saved for later.
When we've hashed this about enough, anyone game to guess at actors??  [/i]
