The fifth film is going to be a challenge to condense into a movie, because there is no main plot, just a lot of subplots. Every character from the first 4 books comes back at some point and the book is just enormous. I heard Cuaron is in talks to come back for film5, and that Christopher Columbus will probably do film7 which would be a nice touch. I'm not worried about 4 being adapted properly, when I read the book I felt like JK Rowling was aware that the movies were in the works and wrote that one accordingly, it feels more like a movie then the other books, especially the first chapter. It is longer but its mostly just taking a longer time to explain things, in terms of content book 4 is only 5-10% longer then book3 in my opinion, she just used more words to explain it (which made it a less enjoyable read)

But book5 is jammed packed, its going to be a real challenge to turn that into any sort of a workable movie. Does anyone else think Judi Dench should play professor Umbridge?



i have a teacher at school which would make such a good umbridge it is sccary. she is exactly like her in every way, same voice, same attatude, speaks to ppl like they are 5, everything.

you should understand that i live in BC and so i know a thing or two about forests. old growth forest rely on those dead trees to fertalise the ground and offer shelter for younger trees, and animals. with out dead trees like them the fertility of the soil would fall steaply and the forest would die altogether. another thing to remeber is the forest fires are natureal ad they art actually good for forest because they clean them and also re juvinate the grounds. aces are very good for growing new trees.

As far as Jarjar goes, I don't think it would have made any difference if he was CGI or a man in a costume, as you say his character just isn't believable. Personally I just don't find that type of humor (slapstick I suppose you would call it) funny. But then I don't Jerry Lewis funny either. I guess you could call Jarjar an intergalactic Jerry Lewis

I realize that they are different films... I was only saying that LOTR used CGI more effectively than AOTC, and it was more believable. So maybe AOTC was less suited to CGI and it should have been used less, rather than more. I know the soldiers are clones, but as someone pointed out even twins do not look or act EXACTLY the same; they are very similar, sure, but they don't look like you have just taken footage of one, and duplicated it, which is what the clones look like (because that's exactly what they did).


my point is that in lotr everything looks different, this is why it more believable to the eye, where as in AOTC the eye is not used to seeing things that uniform. so even if what we see is real or is close to real the eye will make the mind think that something is wrong. . ever find it weird when you walk into a room that has been freshly painted everything is very very tidy almost to tidy. same thing goes for a new house that has not furnature everything is too uniform and it appears weird.
