Prayers etc needed for 'The Hobbit' movie
|
Can't Post
|
|
Dear TORnsibs, I know a number of you feel, like me, quite distressed by the blocked situation regarding the making of the film many of us had earlier started awaiting so eagerly and joyfully: 'The Hobbit', envisaged by the then obvious would be director, Peter Jackson, as one film, plus another one bridging over to the existing LOTR films. For my part, I have from the beginning signed a (polite) petition, sent one or two (polite) email messages to New Line, but after that have found myself painfully unable since long months to do anything else that might help unblock the situation. This is a sick situation, no doubt about that. So, seeing the other day on the 'Off Topic' board a request for prayers, good wishes etc regarding someone's health, I suddenly felt this was just what was needed also to help 'The Hobbit' situation heal as quickly as possible, and in the best possible way. This is why I now come to all of you who might want to help in that endeavour: could we, each one at our own time and place, but united in spirit, pray daily, or send our thoughts, or whatever, for the best possible solution regarding 'The Hobbit' movie? The power of our collective thoughts and of the love in our hearts is waiting to be used also for such purposes that at least for a good number of us are dear. If some of the actors too, or anyone (including Bob Shaye) who has been part in some way of the magnificent success that the LOTR films have been, happen to see this, let them feel free to join as well, for this is an invitation for all people of good will. Blaming and accusing may have played their role too, in clarifying for all to see the responsibilities involved, but in the end only thoughts of harmony can help bring about the reconciliation needed, and the solution that both parties will be able to feel happy to agree on, for the ultimate benefit of all of us!... I hope many of you will be moved to participate in this.
