Still talking out your ass. There were no parts of the adaptation (which my definition MEANS changes for a different medium) that were so drastic as to assume that Boyens would change a gender or anything else that dramatic. Lord of the Rings was VERY faithful, and the parts that were changed were done so to accomodate for the medium of film. Nope. Still talking out your ass.

I recognise the greatness of the movies, of course, but really hate the way Faramir isnt the same. So, I am not talking through my ass, but just trying, through a small joke, show my worry about the transition of Tolkiens material.

I've always preferred The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion to The Hobbit but I love all of Tolkien's works. It's just a matter of which stories I love more. This news of the first Hobbit script being finished is music to my ears! If they were able to bring the Silmarillion to screen I would die of happiness.

(For which I would sacrifice the first two sets of films. Yeah, I know; blasphemy.) But here's the way I've always seen it: 'The Hobbit' was the innocent, mild tale. 'Lord of The Rings' is essentially the tale of Men...with everyone else playing supporting roles in a fading world. (You want to arm wrestle over this point? Bring it.) But 'The Silmarillion', because it primarily deals with Elves...contains the richest material. I mean, seriously; Sauron was second-fiddle to Morgoth...Elves rock...and how can you top actual Gods? I won't live to see any of The Silmarillion brought to the screen (We're probably talking 15-25 years from now) but I'll try to float a feather horizontally when the first epic tale premieres.

Boyens has no history of changing up genders in her writing, and has a long history in writing for Jackson in his most successful and faithful adaptations. David is just randomly talking out his ass.
