Remove all ads!

to any LOTR fan....... there are 30 'secrects' about the upcoming movie on the msn home page. i here that Arwen is going to have a much bigger role in the movie than in the trilogy and im intrested to see how it will work out.

 

Thanks
If anybody's interested in finding out more, msn "borrowed" that article from a site called Force of Hobbit (http://www.eonline.com/Features/Specials/Lordrings/trivia.html), which offers more in-depth coverage of this soon to be epic movie. BTW Sorcerers place will have 2 brand new sections up soon. One for the LOTR movie, complete with all important links and news, as well as one for the new Dungeons & Dragons movie!!
Stay tuned.....

should have know msn swipped it, a co-worker sent me an email to tell me about it. i'll check out that site you mentioned, and a D&D movie, didn't know about that. Thanks, cant wait to check out both movies.

 

I'm a definite fan of all the movies, and I love all of Tolkein's work. My question is, have you read the books???

 

yes all of them, and numerous times, including the Silmarillion ,and even a few that his son Christopher wrote.

 

His son is awesome, but J.R.R. was the best.

 

ABSOLUTLY, J.R.R. is still the best.

 

I have to admit I have never played D&D and never read a fantasy novel, unless you count an extract from Jeffry Archer's biogrophy in a magazine.

Let's just hope that the new movie is better than the cartoon crap they tried before.

 

dont get me started, that cartoon was THE worst movie i have ever seen. and you got it right, it is CRAP!

 

I can only remember little bits of the cartoon, but didn't it combine animation AND live acting?
And it's not the WORST film ever. The worst film ever is total recall.

 

yes it did combine live acting w/ animation which was kind of cool, but they butchered the story. if i remember correctly that is why the 2nd part was never made.

i guess you got me there. total recall did suck, except for sharron stone of course.

 

Well, you guys can check out the trailer that's out on the internet at http://www.dndmovie.com/downloads.html
The rumor is the french distributor goofed and leaked the trailer to the net.... The French film magazine Premiere has been asked to take it down so get it while you can...
It's not the official trailer so it's kinda quick, and not the best quality but judge it for yourselves

Lets hope it is better than the cartoon !! I mean they are working with millions of dollars here(The cast is also pretty good with Jeremy Irons, Thora Birch, Robert Miano among others). I really want this movie to do good, it would translate into fantasy RPG's especially D&D being more mainstream, but the truth is I am a little sceptical, and think the LOTR flick(s) show more promise.

BTW The Official D&D site ranks top 20 visited sites in the world, or so they say
Only time will tell if they are successful...

 

its was pretty quick, but it looks like it might be good.

 

The cartoons had good voice acting, but LOTR combined real people with cartoons! What kind of bull sh** idea was that?!

 

I do remember how bad the cartoon was. I don't think the new movies will be that bad. The stuff on their website looks real good. I think their are putting a lot of effort into getting it right. But no matter how good of a job they do I think most real LOTR fans will be a little disappointed. There is no movie that can compare with the readers imagination. But I'll still wait in line to see them.

 

My thoughts exactly. I just hope that they stay close to the books and don't Hollywoodize the whole thing. By no means is Total Recall the worst movie ever, I've seen plenty that were much, much worse than it. What can be wrong with a movie that features Arnie and women with three tits?

 

I never liked Total Recall, and the new sequel is twice as bad, but they're both certainly not the worst movie ever. If you want a bad movie, check out any Pokemon or anime japanese movie.

 

Um, why didn't you guys just go to lordoftherings.net? You can get the trailer there. From what I saw, it should be decent, but it will be impossible to get it exactly right. I'll still see it though.

 

Hey mr. Egg, don't be dissin japanese anime. It's obviously too inteligent for the likes of you. My personal favorite is Agent Akira.
