I sense a cinematic disaster and if Jackson has any sense he will disassociate himself from it immediately.
2nd that.
And Jackson is generally a really smart, interesting dude. If you haven’t seen They Shall Not Grow Old, as well as any videos of Jackson’s military history museum collection, you should.
“Colbert, a vocal Tolkien fanatic...”
THAT’S his credentials that qualify him to be involved in the production?
I’m with you on this one.
Jackson’s LOTR is great, to the extent it is difficult to tell the CGI characters from the human.
His King Kong was great, excepting the ridiculous ‘running with the brontos.’ Should have been excluded or greatly reduced and instead have included the sea serpent scenes in the main movie release.
