I don't really think we would know if, on the off-chance, one of our own was picked. Because one, I don't think they'd tell us, or two, if they did, we might not believe them. The odds of that happening in any case are slim.

I would tell everyone if it was me & i would'nt mind answering all the questions members might pose. Yes, but one of us getting selected is very slim. Anyway, where is the shooting going on? Mightbe if one of our members is from that particular city then.....

Shooting will be mostly done by the time the location's disclosed. Trust me. ;)

I don't think anyone from the forums will be picked for anything, unless it's as an extra, and even then, only if Stroud gives it the OK, assuming he recieves full control.
I doubt he'll let a movie be made, period, unless he gets control over the entire situation, despot-style control.
That's why Atlas Shrugged was never made ('till now), Ayn Rand wanted full control, and Hollywood just threw it on the shelf and said fine, we'll wait 'till you're dead.
She hated Fountain Head, the adaption.
That's the reason she wanted control of Shrugged.
If Stroud decides to take that route, we may have a significantly longer time to wait for anything whatsoever, regardless of how he feels, unless he can find a studio that will give him what he wants.
He should also have the foresight to do what Lucas did, keep the merchandizing rights.
Yes, I know I spelled that wrong.
I'd perfer, as I've said, unknowns, but personally I wouldn't care if someone like Keanu Reeves or Jack Nicholson gets it, as long as they can do the part correctly.
I'll (and Stroud'll) not have some idiot tear apart his story.
Look what happened with the fim adaption of The Cat in the Hat.
Ugh.
Finally someone had the intelligence to go animation, with Horton Hears a Who.
Wow.
I feel in a typing mood, aparently.

The Cat in the Hat had a lot of bad inappropriate jokes. I mean, there's S.L.O.W., which is ok, but that other one? Seriously? I bet the little kids who were watching that were smart enough to ever figure that out. And it's rated PG too...O.o

At least the filmmakers should keep Bart's unique sense of humor. Now that would be something worth going to the movies for. :D

Definetly.
I wonder how it'll do in other countries? We know the bookks have been transalted, but English (language) humor doesn't always translate very well...

They can always replace with jokes from their own countries. But then again, it does seem kinda hard to not ruin the deep feeling you get from reading the story when you're translating.

Bart wasn't always speaking English though, since he's been to other countries like Egypt and Prague. That might make things a little easier for the translators. They just have to think like Bart, that's all. :D

:o

I always found English inadequate. It's tougher to translate jokes in other languages into English than vice versa.
What's up with u Smeagol? Why are u typing that message again & again. It would be against the rules.

Bought time you realized that. He's already banned. First time banned isn't enough for him.

Yeah, unless Gladstone came up with a clever way to block someone's email or IP address or something....

Back to topic. Or they can use two languages at the same time and use a non-English word that actually sounds like something English. For example, la tormenta in Spanish means "storm", but in a way, it looks a lot like the word torment, doesn't it? :sun:

Setting should be in New Zealand. It may be able to produce another cash flow movie.

And start a frenzy of thanking at the Oscars.:P

Not to mention that one of the Oscar winners would say they were grateful for how the AoS film was not nominated for best documentary. :D

True.
It PG in the Hotel, they speak Aramaic to keep the attendant in the dark, and they kinda loose trakc of what they're speaking right before they fight Faquarl.

I think it's kinda hard to think like Bart.
He's Bart, and we're mere mortals :P

Anyone wanna summon Bart over here to tell us then?

*pause* Nah, don't want to bring him more torture. *light bulb* Unless we pretend we're asking for his autograph...

Wow.
He wouldn't fall for it, i think.

'Course not, that was just a really lame idea I came up with. We all know he's too good and too smart for us anyway.

to bad he'd loose.

Best would be to tell Bart that he has got the major role in Aos [he would be playing Bart's role (for anyone did'nt guess :D )]. And tell him we would include a scene in which he would be allowed to bash up Faquarl & prove for once & all he is stronger & sharper.
He might be seriously tempted.
