Sam Mendes to possibly take on the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy'!'!'!'!

Hey folks, Harry here with some news that would delight me for days and days and months to come. We all know that after this Christmas, it may seem the New Line logo might shine a little less brightly as it has for the 2001-2003 years... the LORD OF THE RINGS years at New Line. New Line has definitely had other films in these years that have been fun or even great, but not that magical wow, that LORD OF THE RINGS has. We also remember that about a year ago, New Line announced they had acquired the rights to the amazing trilogy from Phillip Pullman, the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy, to bring to screen.

That is definitely something to get excited about, and when New Line announced they were working with the genius, Tom Stoppard to adapt the novels into screenplays... well... my expectations began to rise. Well, today in The London Times they mention that Sam Mendes... Yes, that SAM MENDES... is interested in directing HIS DARK MATERIALS... perhaps not the entire trilogy, maybe just the first one or two. BUT, whatever the case... That would simply be tremendous. Dontcha think? I do! I'll definitely continue to keep my eyes open to see what can be seen.

Oh, I've had a couple of letters that asked me why there hasn't been a review by me of A MAN APART, the reason is I went to see the film after being awake for around 29 hours, and fell asleep during the opening credits... woke up about 4 times during the movie to see loud gunfights occuring and felt it would be highly wrong of me to write a review based upon perhaps a 20 minute random loud noise sampling that I witnessed. Father Geek kinda liked it, though it was his least favorite of the Vin Diesel movies.
