Not much LOTR news these days!
But it's still fun to see what PJ and the gang are up to. :-)

I'd love to learn to fly but I've never had the chance to concentrate on it . . .

Surely by now the man can afford flyin' lessons.

Just answered my own question.
ONE itty bitty pic on the article's origin website.

Somebody told me Jack Black will be playing the Carl Denham role.

My nightmare continues.

I hope this does not sum up this movie in the end "a real dumb movie".

I've already posted some Jack Black mugging expressions to another King Kong thread. Might as well cast Paris Hilton in the Fay Wray role.

Hey, let's give PJ the benefit of the doubt on KK. He hasn't let us down yet.

When he brings his interest and passion to a film, it seems to work out just fine. There were, I recall, a LOT of fans who were quite worried when he was announced as the director for LOTR, and look how that turned out. Just go back to the discussion threads at AintItCool news from back then and look at the venom directed at him. I'd say he has earned some confidence, here.

On another note, CHUD.com has a little blurb HERE about a possible startup of filming for "Kong".

In any case, further LOTR-related movies willl have to wait for the lawyers to sort out all the rights, which could take years. PJ can't be expected to just sit on his hands all that time, can he?

BTW, Hair, any more news about the ROTK Extended Edition DVD? I can't seem to find any anywhere.

I was upset that they didn't have more photos of the lane, and PJ with the plane.
Just that one itty bitty one.
:(
Neat plane though.
