I'm still hopeful that they find a way to surprise us and show what Aragorn and Gandalf were up to in that time frame.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-51242001103995053212012-09-20T21:43:20.060-05:002012-09-20T21:43:20.060-05:00i'm guessing that whole Battle of Five Armies ...i'm guessing that whole Battle of Five Armies thing made the project run a wee bit longer.Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452486400885521156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-30349792366558074872012-09-20T19:40:56.712-05:002012-09-20T19:40:56.712-05:00The writing length parallel to a shooting script i...The writing length parallel to a shooting script is a medium-sized short story, not a novel. Any longer on the page and you have to excise a lot of what made the book a book. Most well-written novels need 2 or 3 90 minute (remember those) films to comprehensively cover the actual material.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414687981098467556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-13933634848690981032012-09-20T15:51:50.757-05:002012-09-20T15:51:50.757-05:00I'm in...
