Who should replace Peter Jackson as Hobbit director?

[dennilfloss]

Uwe Boll? Joel Schumacher? Oliver Stone? The Coen/Wachowski Brothers?

I'd want Luc Besson as the best alternative to Jackson. Think Fifth Element on Middle Earth.

Forgot Michael Bay. Crème de la crème of Hollywood directors.

 

[GoPackGo]

George Lucas.

Bilbo played by Hayden Christenson
Gandalf played by Ewan McGregor
Gollum played by jar jar binks

Ice-T...of course his main directorial claim to fame is pron.

 

[techs]

Steven Spielberg

"Bilbo phone hooommmmeeee"

 

[meltdown75]

HeroOfPelinor

How about Spike Lee showing us how Bilbo and the other hobbits are always oppressed and trying to fight The Man?

David Lynch would do an awesome job. Can you picture Bilbo snorting laughing gas and calling for his mommy?

Starts singing...

According to Tolkien fanboys, nobody will be good enough. It should be a consortium of nerds.

There would definitely be more hobbit bed jumping scenes.

 

[LeiZaK]

Darren Aronofsky, that would be interesting.

I'd certainly watch "Below Requiem for Hobbit Fountain Pi's Dream"

Why are you asking this? Is there a film version of "The Hobbit" in the works, and PJ says he won't do it?

Whoever the director is, it will have to be someone who knows the art of film-making, good for actions scenes as well as frame composition, someone with a wicked sense of humour and crazy enough to have a vision and be stubborn about it.

Blackwolf the Dragonmaster, of course

The interesting part of this is that I can do a spot-on Gollum/Smeagol voice, as well as Jar Jar Binks.
(I also can do Elmo. My Gangsta Elmo is popular. "Elmo gonna bust a cap in yo ass! Ahahaha!")

Meesa be lovin' da precious! Me wants it to ourselveses!
But weesa should be given it back to da Hobbitses. Dissa massa me friend! Heesa petty okey day.
Oh piss off, murderer. Yousa must be cahwayze!

 

[Gibsons]

Ridley Scott?

Spielberg would replace all the swords with walkie-talkies, so... No.

 

[newmachineoverlord]

Ron Howard. He directed Willow, after all. Lucas would have potential as well, he was the producer for Willow. Other than Willow there's not much precedent for a good movie in this genre. James Cameron would make an interesting version. Not the evil mirror universe James Cameron that did Titanic, the one from this world that did Terminator and Aliens.

You should be banned in effigy for mentioning Uwe Boll in this context.

 

[DainBramaged]

Voted Oliver Stone. I want to see what the war was *really* like.

 

[dr150]

Uwe Boll of course!

He's one of the great creative minds of cinema of the past few generations.


Plus, he's German. How can you go wrong with that?

He also stands up and fights ( literally ) for the quality of the movies he makes.

You can't go wrong with a german.

Somehow if we get Uwe Boll, we need David Hasselhoff, Gary Coleman, and maybe Paris Hilton to sign on.
