Wondering about the writing
|
Can't Post

I have no doubt that visually we're all in for the motherload on Hobbit & the film to follow. But is there any info. yet on who will be writing on these films? If Peter Jackson is elsewhere working on Lovely Bones, etc. does that mean Fran Walsh and Phillipa Bowen won't be as available either? Lord I hope not. Their grasp of vernacular in LOTR scripts was so important. The LOTR writing elevated it from a great fantasy and visual to a movie worthy of all kinds of dramatic respect (and nominations). It brought those characters to life for us and kept them from being cute or purely fictional characters. Wow, think of the task of doing that for not one, but 13 dwarves !

I'd rather an experienced hand wrote the script than an inexperienced one
