Sean Astin's 'movie"
 
Hey!<P>Have any of you heard about Sean Astin's three minute movie (it's called The Long and Short of it)? From what I've heard, he filmed it with Peter Jackson. It's got something to do with a bus driver. Any of you heard of it?

i just looked it up on imdb.com<P>sean astin directed, peter jackson played a bus driver. made during days off on lotr filming. runs for 5 minutes. elijah wood was first assisstant director, and andy serkis was assisstant location manager. oh, and dominic monaghan helped sean write it. sala baker was electrician and traffic controller, and billy boyd was musical inspiration.<P>man hurts back, cant hang thing up. two passers by help him, turns out its an automobile advertisment which none of them can afford. so instead they use public transport. they ride home together. an insight into what the world could be liek if people took more notice of each other and helped out.<P>oh, and the characters range from 3 and 1/2 to 8 feet.

If you would like to view the film, you can find it at the Sundance Film Festival site: <A HREF="http://www.sundanceonlinefilmfestival.org/showcase01_02.html" TARGET=_blank>The Long and the Short Of It</A><P>It's about 5 and a half minutes long, so unless you have broadband (which I have. Yay me!) it might take some time to download. It's sweet, more of a piece just to show that Sean Astin can put together a film then any great statement. <P>And yes, Peter Jackson gets to drive a Wellington bus. Must be nice to have friends in high places.

I've never heard of it; but then I'm not a very involved "Upcoming movie watcher"<P>Himaran

I haven't seen the 'movie' before, but it shows them filming it on the Extended DVD

I am going to get to see that movie this weekend. They are having a special charity showing of TTT this weekend in Portland Oregon and Sean Astin will be attending, they are also going to show his movie before TTT. I am so happy! *does a happy dance*
