Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Alvar, all the film versions are simply adaptations, they aren't meant as an expansion of the literary universe in any way.So Tauriel isn't an expansion of the universe?No because she exists in Peter Jackson's version of The Hobbit and has no ties to the actual novel. It's different to Star Wars where everything is "supposed" to fit together. PJ's films are PJ's version of Tolkien's works. That's it. They're not a continuation of Tolkien's Legendarium, they're an adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 But let's say someone makes a film called Tauriel's Extraordinary (Yet Uncanny) Adventures In Wilderland, that would fit PJ's canon, right?1) I assume that'd just be fanfiction2) Surely such a situation can't arise anyway3) I can't wait for Quint to come in here and see another Tolkien discussion.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That depends.Let's say everything they say about her in this film fits what was established in DOS and TABA. Then, this film would fit PJ's canon, right?2) Surely such a situation can't arise anywayWhy not? She's a cool character, right? Such a great character deserves her own film, doesn't she?Rights issues and stuff surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 So Disney could buy the rights to the Tauriel character and put her in Star Wars? Since she is not a part of the Tolkien estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Some big news on the film, all from THR...- Apparently, Michael Arndt did NOT depart Episode VII due to timeframe issues -- but because he and JJ Abrams were divided on which characters to focus on. Arndt's drafts made Han, Leia and Luke's offspring front and center while the beloved characters took supporting roles. So he got the boot. Abrams apparently wants Episode VII to focus on the classic trio for one more time before sending them off, as per his and Kasdan's rewrites. So the new characters will be supporting in this pic and take center stage in subsequent Episodes VIII and VIX.- More casting rumors are thrown in the ring. Michael Fassbender, Adam Driver, and Hugo Weaving have also met with Abrams to discuss possible roles in the film. Additionally, Abrams is also looking for an actress in her 20s who is either mixed race or black to play a role -- the rumor is that role will be Obi-Wan Kenobi's daughter or granddaughter.

Matt C 454 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I knew something about Arndt's departure smelled funny... considering Abrams and Kasdan are officially overhauling his draft big time. I hope he gets at least a story credit in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yep, didn't buy that it was an "amicable" spilt due to time pressures. Hopefully Abrams knows what he's doing and isn't getting blinded by being able to play around in the galactic sandbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
