Cristopher Tolkien tries to halt The Hobbit

My preciouussss......

Christopher Tolkien is 83 and is trying to halt production of The Hobbit.

It's because he hates films and refuses to let his father's work be translated to films. Ironically, it is said he has not even watched any of the Lord Of The Rings movie. (Otherwise he may give Peter Jackson a hug of joy instead).

No matter, he has tried to bring LOTR to court for the same reason before, citing the fact that New Line Cinema owed him money - which was possibly true. But Tolkien is rich and doesn't need the money - it is more a hate for Hollywood is spurring him on. I guess at 83, it's difficult to change your perspectives.

Depp to play Tonto in The Lone Ranger

Can you imagine Depp as a Native American?

Word from IESB and Variety is that Johnny Depp will play the Native American Tonto, sidekick of the Lone Ranger in the movie version. (Depp is part Cherokee)

Seeing that Depp can pull off most anything, this will surely be easy peasy for Depp. But wait, who then will play the Lone Ranger?

If at first Nic Cage was interested, George Clooney seems to have taken the lead. (Oh no!)

According to sources, at a Disney event where Depp was announced to be playing The Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, the fact that The Lone Ranger will also be made was announced. Depp appeared with the black mask over his eyes as William Tell's 'Overture' was played.

Spike Lee reveals who might direct George's Lucas' Red Tail

Spike Lee let slip that he might...

That's the latest anyway, so says Spike Lee in a recent interview with him.

Red Tail is George Lucas' baby on the tail of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all African-American pilot squad in World War II.

The juice has been going on that Samuel Jackson might be directing it in his debut attempt at directing. But according to Lee, who also mentioned meeting some Tuskegee Airmen recently, a young African-American director by the name of Anthony Hemingway is set to direct.

Hemingway has a record for directing TV - including shows such as CSI:NY, CSI:Miami, ER, Battlestar Galactica and Criminal Minds.

How this pans out for th efilm will be interesting.

Reviewers gets it wrong on the Love Guru

So this is dated. Fine! I’m always checking films out after the reviewers has had their say. But I didn’t check this out earlier because some reviewers gave it the thumbs down. And I don’t see why.

Sure some of his jokes had a lot of focus on erm… adult themes…and erm.. some other stuff… but on the whole, if you find yourself laughing out loud, at every 5 - 10 minutes, you know you’ve got a jackpot
