It's a pity they didn't bury the first one.

Then again, I read the first 3(?) books half a hu-man lifetime ago, then gave up.

I quite like the David Lynch version, was suitably over the top

It's the high cost of making movies that buried it, not Paramount.

HTH

The last remake was described as twice as long and twice as boring as the previous one. Which if you've seen the David Lynch version is some acheivment.

It's high time they aired it on TV again as I've forgotten how allegedly bad it was and all I remember is that it was ace.

Lines of melange all round then.

Did Gordon Brown give the project his blessing ?

If you must!

It may be that certain books can't be fully represented in film, although I thought Lynch got a lot right.

I wonder if Lord of the Rings will ever be remade?
