And about the Hobbit…

1. This is an old rumor (well a month old…)

2. New Line was the first company to release Evil Dead back in the day- I guess (if true) this would be NL calling the favor in.

>>I can just see Marlowe barking into his cel phone now.

Say is there any one out there who does write MODERN day noir in the Chandler/Ross MacDonald vein?

Hmmm…. I’ve been watching the HBO Philip Marlowe series featuring Powers Boothe and love it. Owen could do a great job, but since I love Boothe in the role, I have to admit I will be comparing Marlowes’ in the back of my mind.

Wow. Present day Marlowe? I wonder how that clipped dialogue style will translate? And how will Marlowe look with highlights?

Seeing that image, I can only wonder: Is the movie going to feature Britney Spears inspiring Marlowe to open a roller disco?

“If they do any such thing, we hope they stick to the period, because Marlowe will always be mid-century LA to us.”

I really liked Robert Altman’s “The Long Goodbye” which was set in the (then contemporary) 1970s. Completely different from the book, but it worked.

“We have heard a lot of private rumors about Peter Jackson and his mental state…suffice to say there is more than money behind this New Line/Jackson feud.”

Such a tease! I wouldn’t mind some hints as to what that sentence is referring to.
