Read this a few days back on comic book movies web site:

That was from a July 2012 article in the French Magazine Le Monde.

Wow, I heard that someone else has written a second article concerning the WDW shake up that should be posted soon. Sounds like the Main Site is stepping up in the article category.

Even more awesome news! Great thing for OU.

Well, to the doubters, that was very well written

Just to make clear, this wasn't a false trail created by us.

Great article, Hatetofly! And I'm eager to hear the news on Wednesday.

Very, very well done HTF my man. Great read.

Just to make clear, this wasn't a false trail created by us.

Or me. I was told some info. I talked to one of my other sources and he said that he had heard of the negotiations and added stuff I didn't know. We talked back and forth for about 3 days before I started dropping hints. Someone was feeding the fanbois info. I still don't know why. It could have been an intentional false trail. Or it could have been an insiders idea of fun. As I said at WDWMAGIC, a "drop a match and watch it burn" kind of thing. And this one literally EXPLODED! If that was their intention, they got what they were looking for.

At first I was sort of mad. Then I figured. Hey, rumors are rumors, that 's why they're called rumors.

Interesting article... Though I've heard something entirely different.

Good article HTF!

What have you heard? I am curious.

 

[Andy]

As am I please share or PM if you must. I'm intrigued :thumbs:

Why is there a rumour of removing Sir PJ from the project? I thought he and Uni got on well after collaborating with the new Kong and USH. If he is indeed cut, would they need to start from scratch with new soundtracks and sets etc?

 

[Andy]

Not PJ and Uni that is the problem it's Tolkien and PJ that's the problem and its his interpretation of the books that would carry over into a themepark. Well that was the rumor anyway

 

[Descendo]

Ah ok. So an example would be - Spielberg adapting Jurassic Park into an extremely successful film, then, the Crichton estate would only approve Uni creating a theme park if there were to be no involvement from Spielberg, but, the park uses John Williams' scores and the same art direction and sets?

I hope this doesn’t happen, when Guillermo del Toro initially stood in for the directing position of the 2nd Middle Earth trilogy people weren’t happy- now that Jackson has created 6 films in Middle Earth; people associate them to each other and I can’t see the fans happy without PJ aboard the project.

 

[Elizabeth.June]

now that Jackson has created 6 films in Middle Earth

6? I thought the Hobbit just made 4 (Fellowship, Two Towers, Return of the King, and Hobbit)?

6? I thought the Hobbit just made 4 (Fellowship, Two Towers, Return of the King, and Hobbit)?

Each part of The Hobbit is considered an individual movie (similar to Harry Potter DH).

Oh ok… that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification :thumbs:
