Did I miss something, or has no one mentioned Spielberg yet? As much as I have enjoyed Jurassic Park and as much as I wept during Schindler's List, I think he would have inadvertently sucked the depth and richness out of the story. We would end up with a cinematic feature that would be mostly brawn, some brains, and very little soul. Harrison Ford as Aragorn, Haley Joel Osment (sp?) as Frodo, and Gandalf (played by Anthony Hopkins, or someone) would probably tell the Balrog to "smile, you b*tch." Then again, Jude Law would probably be Legolas...Hehehehehe. Not that I'm not, uh, satisfied with the current choice.
