Kevin's Watch

TCTC was *pauses for dramatic effect* an anime. I'm not really serious, but what would it be like if it existed?

Really, really BAD.

*shrug*
I dont think i've ever seen a whole anime cartoon, so im not sure what it would be like.

I'd give it a chance and watch it anyway.

i wouldnt be mad...but i'd be dissapointed lol

Maybe a 'Simpsons' retelling?

Or better yet; it could be done 'Peanuts' Style.

In stead of maoning "Hellfire and bloody damnation" Covenant would moan "Good Greif!"
To which someone would reply, "Thomas Covenant, You're a Blockhead!"

Then Moham would show up, clutching his Lord's Blue Blanket, and with some kind words of wisedom, get everybody back on track.

I remember the animated version of LOTR from about 1980. It seriously sucked.

This is pure genius!
There's a lot more potential comedy here but I'm drawing a blank.

Well since the demise of the movie. Would a Cable channel "Mini-series of the books" be created?

The first three books could be made into ten - 1 1/2 or 2 hours segments. That 15-20 hours of storytelling. With the marketing of DVD as a box set. It could be done over a two year period and each book be shown over a 6 or 7 week period. A intermission period then a continuation

This would allow about all the books contents to be told.

According to SRD in the GI...the Revelstone Entertainment people tried every angle...but no one was bitting.

yeah I read that too ..
*however*
that was a while back now - and imo a bit has changed since then ..

those at 'Revelstone Entertainment' should be keeping a close eye on how upcoming fantasy films such as 'Stardust', 'the Golden Compass', 'Bewoulf' and 'Prince Caspian' perform - fantasy is flavour of the month in Hollywood, it's been building that way for a few years now ..

Who would have thought an Iron Man film would've been made say 10 years ago ? no-one. But the success of Spidey and the X-Men means Marvel has a licence to make movies these days ..
The same goes for fantasy; if the aforementioned films are relatively successful then it would be silly of RE not to at least attempt to shop around TCoTC again.
I personally havent given up hope, the original news that the chrons had been optioned seemingly came outta nowhere, and I reckon it's not outside the realms of possibility that we could still one day hear the news that a TC film has been green-lit. Fingers crossed !!
BTW, a high-budget series produced by HBO would be even better than a film or three, the entire story could be told without a need to cram it all into 2.5 hours ..

I think it would be okay as long as someone with some actually quality and visoon did it.

Seems Ted Turner did Gettsburg and made some profit on VHA & DVD's where it wasn't succesfull on the Big Screen..

I wonder how much did he make on that?
