Would this be feasible? A "The Last Unicorn" RL MFollow

I think it would be nice if Peter Jackson worked his magic on "The Last Unicorn" the way he did "Lord of The Rings." Does anybody remeber the old Rankin\ Bass animated movie? Even though it is a cartoon, it has REALLY good lines! While we are on the subject, is there any truth to the rumors that they are considering making a "The Hobbit?" I'm not sure that would work ...

yeah ... Ralph Bacci was the one who made the crappy version of Lord of The Rings and The Two Towers merged into one (it was actually cool .. before Peter Jackson's movie blew it out of the water, of course) The Rankin\ Bass version of "The Hobbit" is very nice (I have a copy.) Rankin \ Bass also did a version of "Return of The King" (Which is decent) My question was, does anyone thing it would be cool if PETER JACKSON (Maker of the live action Lord of The Rings Trilogy) would make a LIVE ACTION version of "The Last Unicorn?" Also, rumor has it a LIVE ACTION version of "The Hobbit" is in sight (I don't think this would be a good idea though ...)

i think they are remaking the hobbit with real people. i dont think peter jackson is directing it though, so it will prolly suck

This is great! I had no idea so many people remembered the last unicorn- it is my favorite book. The characters (and lines) are amazing, very real but you get the feeling they know they are in a book. I have to express doubts about a live version, tho- I just don't think you could get the unicorn right.

Just putting a horn on a horse's head doesn't always cut it :) She would have to speak, and if you have read the book, you know she isn't really supposed to look like a horse at all. R/L animals to me are hard to humanize/create characters around. I have is memory of being little and going to the Ringling Brother's circus, where they were supposed to have a unicorn (being little, i was excited). It turned out to be a goat with one horn:( I was quite crushed. I just think a real horse would disappoint. (or a goat, for that matter;)

Imagine the Sillmarillion as a T.V. series.

or maybe a series of movies.

If not that, the Tale of the Children of Hurin would make a great Dark FAntasy.

now I wanna go watch it again! ::goes and rummages around in her boxes looking for it::

I love the music too, I have it on my lappy hehe.. anyway... I am just bored... leveing fishing in FFXI and boy is it boring... thank goodness I have a laptop lol

Not if i get to him first Smash.

ewww... the Wheel of Time as a movie... my god that would be one looooooooooong movie.


Actually you could do the whole thing in about an hour if you filtered out the pointless filler dialouge that adds nothing to the plot or does anything but make the books longer.

... nah .. I have to disagree with you on this one. With the computer graphics we have now, I am SURE they could make an increadible Unicorn (Only the humans have to be real after all ...)



Much as I love The Wheel of Time, wouldn't it be a little too much like LoTR? If you wanted to SHOCK me, suggest making a "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever." (Steven R. Donaldson) Now THAT is a series NO ONE would ever make!
