See! That’s the problem with the film industry today! …or any day, I suppose.

…super blushing. Thank you, and yes we can! Both of us! Yaaargh!

Omigosh, yes! They’re like “Here’s this book that has been well-loved by children the world over for decades. Let’s stretch it into a 12-hour trilogy and add a lot of action and romance so the kids don’t get bored. We can bring the orcs back. Kids love orcs. They can travel in daylight. Kids won’t be expecting that. And we can throw in an elf princess to fall in love with a dwarf because it’s too much of a cliche for her to love the elf prince we’re also throwing in just because we could.”
“She falls in love with a dwarf?”
“Yeah, but we’ll make him, like, the young, sexy dwarf.”

Oh, wait, did I get off-topic?

I imagine it would have been hard to find young and older actors who could play both ends of the part. In this version, Jodorowsy’s son would have played Paul. He would have been 14. Jodo made him train in martial arts 6 hours a day, 6 days a week for two years in preparation for the movie they never made.

It would have been awesome.

Come to think of it, every film I have ever hated lacked a flaming giraffe.

Love the WIP. Focus on the WIP. Finish the WIP. We…can…do…it.
