The Hobbit in Limbo: No Mo Del Toro

[Jack7]

Well, if that's the fella then I've even seen an interview with that guy. I don't pay much attention to actors and directors, as far as trying to remember them though.

Met Robert Mitchum at a filming (he made me laugh), and Shatner, and Nimoy (actually liked him), and Glenn Ford once (really liked him). Most of em though don't care for much.

But if Del Toro did Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy 2, then yeah, I can see what you guys are talking bout. I'd have liked to have seen what he did with the Hobbit. Shame he's out.

Actually, now that I think about it, Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men) would be a fine fit for The Hobbit.

Oooh, good pull.

From what I heard this morning, it sounds like nothing is going anywhere until MGM manages to find its way out of their current financial situation.

Well, if we can't get someone like that...what is Terry Gilliam doing these days?

Yup, The Hobbit, the Stargate films and Bond are all in limbo right now. Are there any other franchises MGM has it's hands on?

Sad, but perhaps now we can get Quentin Tarantino to direct a proper Kill Smaug movie.

And now, a scene from Middle Earth Fiction:

Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how freaking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys NADA. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead HOBBIT in my stable.

Jules: Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that...

Jimmie: No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my castle that said Dead Hobbit Storage?

Jules: Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no...

Jimmie: Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said Dead Hobbit Storage?

Jules: [pause] No. I didn't.

Jimmie: You know WHY you didn't see that sign?

Jules: Why?

Jimmie: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead hobbits ain't my freaking business, that's why!

Of course now it occurs to me that I should have called the "movie" Pulp Tolkien.

If they made that movie, maybe we'd finally see what's in that damn briefcase chest...

Saruman's soul?
