Harvey Weinstein Threatened To Replace Peter Jackson On Lord Of The Rings With Quentin Tarantino

Harvey Weinstein Threatened To Replace Peter Jackson On Lord Of The Rings With Quentin Tarantino

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings had already been a literary staple for decades by the time the movie adaptations came out, but the big screen versions of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King have also managed to stand on their own as cinematic triumphs. What started as an ambitious film project that took eight years to fully realize resulted in three movies that were widely praised by critics and moviegoers alike. However, if producer Harvey Weinstein had his way with the first Lord of the Rings movie when it was still at Miramax, we would have gotten a significantly different version of the classic Tolkien tale, one which could have seen Quentin Tarantino behind the camera rather than Peter Jackson.

In the new book Anything You Can Imagine: The Making of Middle-Earth, author Ian Nathan writes (via Stuff) that even when The Lord of the Rings was being developed as two movies rather than a trilogy, Harvey Weinstein believed that Peter Jackson had "wasted" $12 million working on such a script. According to producer Ken Kamins, who worked with Weinstein during this period, Weinstein demanded that Jackson turn Lord of the Rings into one two-hour movie, and if he didn't comply, he would replaced with Quentin Tarantino, who Weinstein had already worked with for several years at this point. Shakespeare in Love director John Madden was also thrown in as another replacement director candidate.

The Lord of the Rings movies are certainly among the longer cinematic offerings, but if Peter Jackson had done as Harvey Weinstein requested, several of The Fellowship of the Ring's best sequences and a few of its characters would have been cut. Jackson subsequently received a Miramax memo dated June 17, 1998 that pitched "a more radical, streamlined approach" that would have allowed Lord of the Rings to be told in just one movie, but Jackson knew this wasn't the right course of action, so he contacted Ken Kamins and told him that he and his partner Fran Walsh couldn't make the movie that Weinstein wanted. Fortunately for Lord of the Rings fans, Kamins convinced Weinstein to let Jackson shop his Lord of the Rings treatment to other studios. New Line Cinema expressed interest, and the rest is history.

While a Quentin Tarantino-directed The Lord of the Rings sounds is certainly fun to think about, as a fully-realized movie, I doubt I'm alone in thinking that he wouldn't have been the right creative mind to tackle a project of this scale. Even assuming that Tarantino's love of gore and violence would have fit in since the Lord of the Rings movies are filled with battle scenes, having Gandalf drop f-bombs in every other sentence or Frodo sprinkling in Middle-Earth pop culture references wouldn't have gone over well, not to mention that it would have been less accessible to younger moviegoers.

While it's been a decade and half since Lord of the Rings film trilogy concluded and four years since the last Hobbit movie came out, Amazon is dropping around $500 million on a TV series that will take place before The Fellowship of the Ring and showcase new adventures. While not 100% guaranteed, it's probably safe to say that Quentin Tarantino won't be involved with this project either.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald Has Lowest Rotten Tomato Score Of The Harry Potter Universe

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald Has Lowest Rotten Tomato Score Of The Harry Potter Universe

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald doesn't hit theaters until next weekend; however, a lucky few people have already gotten to see the movie. Overall, reactions to the second flick in the Fantastic Beasts franchise have been positive. Still, if you head over to aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is scoring lower than every single flick in the Harry Potter universe.

At the time of this writing, reviews for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald are running at 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, which aligns with roughly how our own Eric Eisenberg felt about the flick. This means the movie is at least slightly fresh and not rotten, which is great news for the studio. It's always better to see a shiny red tomato than the green splat, although in recent years audience perspectives have become just as big of a deal for the site as critics reviews have.

When compared to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the numbers aren't super far off. The first Fantastic Beasts movie runs at a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning that plenty of people like the movie or mostly liked the movie and fewer people straight up disliked it.

When comparing The Crimes of Grindelwald to the various Harry Potter movies that have come out over the years, currently Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is also running somewhat lower. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are the lowest-rated in the universe after Crimes of Grindelwald, ranking at 78% and 77% respectively. The rest of the movies featuring Harry Potter are in the 80-90s percent range, score-wise.

Of the rest of the movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 ranks the highest. It's at a whopping 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating near-universal acclaim. That's the final movie in the set with character deaths and the defeat of Voldemort, and it's no wonder that critics seemed to latch onto the flick as the best one.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the flick introducing Sirius Black, unsurprisingly ranks as the second highest, scoring a 90% on the aggregate site. The third book in J.K. Rowling's series is often a fan favorite, so it's not surprising the big screen version also did well with critics.

It is worth noting that so far only 35 reviews have been put up on the aggregator site. As we approach Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald's November 16 release date, more reviews should be added to the sum total. Whether that means the movie may dip below the fresh range or increase to an even fresher level remains to be seen.

As we wait for the movie to actually hit theaters--which is becoming more and more arduous by the day thanks to the teases about the movie's ending--you can also keep an eye on other aggregate site Metacritic, which actually is also running at 60%. On IMDB the movie has an 8.8, although with 553 reviews, it's unclear how many people have seen the movie yet.

That said, clearly there is anticipation for Warner Bros.' Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel. You can catch Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald beginning on November 16 and read up on what we know about the project right now.

Two Crazy Rich Asians Sequels Are Planning To Film Back-To-Back In 2020

Two Crazy Rich Asians Sequels Are Planning To Film Back-To-Back In 2020

If the romantic comedies of the past taught us one thing, it's that happy endings are possible. This summer's hit comeback for the genre, Crazy Rich Asians, was a success for more than the usual reasons. It showed moviegoers' hunger for inclusive stories through a fairytale-esque comedy about acceptance through an exploration of the Singapore elite.

Since Crazy Rich Asians is based on a series of three novels, we've been eager to see how the story will continue. Shortly after the film became a box office success, a sequel was greenlit. Screenwriters Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim are returning to pen the new script, with director Jon M. Chu set to direct. Producer Nina Jacobson has told Deadline that a second and third Crazy Rich Asians sequel will be shot back-to-back in 2020.

That seems like ages, but the delay isn't a surprise, considering Jon M. Chu is devoting much of 2019 to his planned film adaptation of Tony-winning musical In the Heights. Also, with the breakout success of Crazy Rich Asians, much of the cast has jumped on other projects. Awkwafina has an upcoming Comedy Central television series, and Henry Golding has a holiday rom-com opposite Emilia Clarke (also starring Michelle Yeoh) called Last Christmas.

Once Jon M. Chu goes into post-production on In the Heights, he'd likely get ready for the two-film shoot and dive right into it in 2020. Filming the two sequels back-to-back will allow for the talent to knock out the entire trilogy all at once, and would mean there wouldn't be such a long gap between releasing the second and third films.

This news might mean the sequel to Crazy Rich Asians won't hit theaters until 2021, but all-in-all it's exciting that not one but two follow-ups to the rom-com are penciled in to the cast and crews' schedules. The first film was based on a series by Kevin Kwan which includes a second novel called China Rich Girlfriend and third named Rich People Problems.

The second film is said to focus more on Gemma Chan's Astrid, who was dealing with the demise of her relationship with her husband in Crazy Rich Asians. Fans of the novels know there's much more to tell regarding Astrid, along with the second novel also focusing on Nick and Rachel as they travel to Mainland China to learn the truth of her father.

The Crazy Rich Asians filmmakers also struggled with balancing the many talents of the all-Asian cast, with some supporting roles not fully explored. So there's plenty of material to work with and the franchise can easily fill three films full of comedic moments and touching storylines.

Crazy Rich Asians was just nominated for two Golden Globes for Best Picture, with the film's star Constance Wu nabbing a Best Actress nod. The high-acclaim solidifies the film's immense success after it made over $237 million worldwide at the box office and been praised by audiences and critics alike.
