While we are dreaming, I've always felt the best way to be true to the book in a visual medium is through a television series, though the preduction costs would be through the roof. Each episode could correspond more or less to a chapter in the book. It would take three years for the series to complete.<P>The advantage a television series has is that it can take it's time revealing character and plot. A movie doesn't have this luxery to the same extent. It has to tell one big story. A television series can tell a whole lot of little stories that interwieve into a big story. I find the structure of LoTR to be naturally episodic.<P>Well guys, do you want to get started? I'll write the teleplay for the pilot. <P>H.C.<P>[ January 14, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]<p>[ January 14, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
