Nick de SemlyenHOST

Chris HewittHOST
... [laughs] yes, more importantly, 30 years ago, he directed a film called The Frighteners-
Nick de SemlyenHOST

John CrinanGUEST
uh but it's still baffling to go from bad taste to lord
Ben ErringtonHOST
of the rings Even things like Heavenly Creatures and then obviously The Frighteners.
Ben ErringtonHOST
More Hollywood movies, more big budget movies, but...
Ben ErringtonHOST
They didn't really have the scale.
Ben ErringtonHOST
There wasn't anything in those films that made me think, OK, so the scale of Lord of the Rings could be done correctly with whoever's made these films.
Ben ErringtonHOST
You know, the fact that he's gone from that Frighteners and then five years later, again, even that gap of five years from 96, the Frighteners to Lord of the Rings 2001, I guess like all the Lord of the Rings stuff was happening behind the scenes when that was going on.
Ben ErringtonHOST
yeah even that gap is just like it is crazy and yeah i'd like to know the real
John CrinanGUEST
story
Roger FarrellyHOST
