Did I miss something, or has no one mentioned Spielberg yet?<BR>As much as I have enjoyed <I>Jurassic Park</I> and as much as I wept during <I>Schindler's List</I>, I think he would have inadvertently sucked the depth and richness out of the story. We would end up with a cinematic feature that would be mostly brawn, some brains, and very little soul. <BR>Harrison Ford as Aragorn, Haley Joel Osment (sp?) as Frodo, and Gandalf (played by Anthony Hopkins, or someone) would probably tell the Balrog to "smile, you b*tch."<BR>Then again, Jude Law would probably be Legolas...Hehehehehe. Not that I'm not, uh, satisfied with the current choice.
