Rumors, Myths and Facts Surrounding The Latest Scifi News

It has been a month or more since any of us here at SCIFIPUNDIT have posted anything about scifi or fantasy, but the holiday season is upon us and we have all been slightly busy preparing for the season. I did see some interesting things floating around Hollywood and rumors are abundant so here is the latest gossip and known facts in the world of scifi. First, Peter Jackson, Director, Producer, and Writer of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy was pulled from the prequel, “The Hobbit” by New Line Cinema. The bigwigs told Mr. Jackson “His services were no longer needed”. This came on the heels of him also being pulled from the video game turned movie “Halo”. It seems Mr. Jackson is having a rough 2006 with the canceling of two projects in less than three months. I am not sure how they will make the new movie “The Hobbit” without his eye for style or storytelling and I seriously doubt it will match up to the three previous movies that made well over 3 billion dollars world wide in their release for New Line. I know that New Line was overwhelming pleased with the first three movies and had nothing but wonderful things to say about Peter Jackson, but it seems Hollywood is still a fickle place and one wrong word or one wrong script can have you packing your bags. If I were Peter Jackson, I would make them beg to take me back before I would return if that is what he wants.

Secondly, The newest trailer for the latest “Harry Potter” movie “Order of the Phoenix” is finally on line and the movie is due out on July 13th 2007. I am curious to see as to how they plan to get so much of the book into a two to two and a half hour movie without ruining the story. I suppose we will see in about 8 months.

Thirdly, World Con is coming to Denver in 2008, and for those who do not know about this, it is the biggest Scifi convention in the world. Denver beat out Chicago and Cincinnati for the right to host this huge event. Tickets will be $130.00 but I believe it will be well worth every penny, and we from SCIFIPUNDIT will be there and hopefully get some interviews for the blog. I hope some of you all can make it. Thanks again for sticking with us and if you have any questions we can answer, please send us an E mail we love to here from you here at SCIFIPUNDIT.
