Check out the recent slew of fantasy-novel-turned-film releases in the past few years. They've gone after some fairly obscure titles. And why not? For one thing, to a standard movie studio executive, ALL imaginative fiction is an unknown property. But since LotR made money... yeah. No such thing as an original idea in that arena. (It's not like LotR got made because Hollywood was clamoring for it to be done on account of how famous the books are, rather because Peter Jackson fought tooth and nail to make it happen. So, really, the lame book-to-movie conversions we've suffered lately are all <i>his</i> fault.) Exactly. Check out the recent slew of fantasy-novel-turned-film releases in the past few years.
