It's still a blow from the people that brought us a pretty darned good LOTR. Ya might think NL woulda learned a thing or two from that experience.
The books really are literature BTW.
Chris Weitz is a crap director, weak visual style, never attempted anything like this, nothing on this scale. He's been a profitable hack in low level comedy stuff, so he's done well for studios before. He actually did an OK job casting it, but nothing in his CV screams "epic".
At least Jackson, Verhoevn et al were *real* filmmakers - people that know how to shape lengthy, complex material.
I knew we were in trouble as soon as NL ditched Stoppard's work in favor of Weitz's script. Bad sign. And the movie is as bad as I expected it to be.
And NL haven't done well lately. Every industry report and the info at Box Office Mojo says they've had a string of flops and disappointemtns going back to ROTK with only 2 hits and very few profitable movies...hence the eagerness to buty the hatchett with Jackson over The Hobbitt.
