To be honest i never read the book i was only saying Spielberg, and that would Include Peter Jackson are not the kind of guys authors want touching their material.

As a Tolkien fan i was horrified by the hamfisted changes Jackson inserted into a work that was not his own.

Not Only did NewLine butcher the master fantacists work but they did not even pay the tolkien estate their 2% of the net profits. Which they are pursuing Legal action over and Christopher Tolkien is going to try and get all rights for the books back from Saul Zaentz due to breech of contract. Meaning no Hobbit Movies.

Furthermore if tintin is a 100% cgi movie who do you think Spielbergs going to go for ideas, Lucas or bob z who did Beowulf. Awful, awful, awful. Any movie having its effects done by ILM lucas has a bad amount of relation to. Even if weta does the effects for tintin what have they done since LOTR that fucking awful shit king kong, and lost the rights both to Evangelion and Halo.

Okay so the first narnia film was decent but the second one was shit.

How many traditional effects houses are left in Hollywood or as Independant's ? It seems to me that all new movies are crap cgi fests.

I wish the cgi overladen film era would implode. i am sick of paying to see movies that Look like videogames and were written by a bunch of monkeys. Cgi and bad scripts ruined star wars and Indiana Jones.
