STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>
Time
OLK, I really think that is one awesome cover. I may actually use it, holy crap!
Anyway, I know it's a WIP, but I think the back could be spiced up a bit... seems too normal to me right now. Like it mirrors the PT dvd's on the back, almost in style. And on the side, I noticed you have some sort of image there. Are you planning on making some for Ady's other edits and putting together a spine image?
Okay, now I'm being picky... but you know how the original SE covers had a note that it was "special edition" under the title? Well, maybe you could put 'REVISITED' there. I think it would look really nice.

Why though? So the next movie can waste time showing Lyra before she goes into the other world? The second book began far after that point.

Did Pullman also like the other, pathetic contrivances that replaced the book's plot (like Iorek becoming king before fighting at Bolvangar)? Did he like all of the Lyra's World for Dummies sequences and explanations when the original story focused on characters and mystery instead? Did he like all of the incredibly-boring, added scenes depicting the bad guy's belated intentions and faulty knowledge as a way to ruin almost all of the story's suspense?

I'd have trouble believing that any author would have supported the final film we got. That is unless that author is best with books and likes bad movies. :\

Link-y for the Proof. So, I guess he did support the film's changes - hopefully not all of them.

THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE WAS ORIGINALLY THE SAME AS THE BOOK, BUT THE DIRECTOR DECIDED TO CUT OUT THE BOOK ENDING GIVING THE AUDIENCE A COMFORTABLE ENDING TO THE MOVIE. ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTOR THE "BOOK ENDING" WILL BE USED AS THE OPENING OF THE SECOND MOVIE.

Which is actually a decision, at least according to wikipedia, Mr. Pullman agrees with.

I just wanted to take this bakc on topic, double post or not, and say that this is the kind of common sense the world needs.
