"Why no LotR novels?" Topic

I came upon this board by accident,please tell me that I have inadvertantly slipped into a parallel universe?

Alan Dean Foster is too busy to do the Novelisation, he has another 37 to do by July, and he is not gonna get any more started until he has finished 'The Passion of the Christ'

Sane Max, you really got me chuckling.

Anyone remember Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye, a Star Wars sequel? Luke gets Leia, Han wanders off somewhere, Luke kills Vader.

He'd be perfect. :)

I wish someone would produce a novelisation of that Mel Gibson film where the guy is nailed to a cross, perhaps a sequel where possibly he rises from the grave and becomes the son of god…just a thought

---------------------------------------

Well lets look at the movies after Splinter of the Minds eye came out. Luke Does kill Vader, Han does wander off somewhere in a BlackFlag Smugglers Hotel(tm) and We all saw Luke and Lea kiss in the movie. While its illegal, you know what they were doing on Dantoine.

If it were not for Alan Dean foster George Lucas would have never gotten the idea to finish the trillogy.

If only we had Alan Dean foster to do the novelization of Attack of the Clones before Lucas wrote the script, it would have been a much MUCH better movie.

Alan Dean is a visionary I tell you. Visionary!

When will you people realise…
LOTR is a pile of pretentious rubbish!
and the people who are into it are such total earnest nosenseofhumour idiots!
saw the first film, thought it was just silly!
can't see the point!
utter, utter, utter, utter twaddle!
who cares? life is short, and I've wasted too much time typing this! get a life, talk to girls, move out of your parents house, get a job, for gods sake get a life!!!!!

The title for the movie "Blade Runner" came from the Andre Norton science fiction novel…

Nope. Not Andre Norton. She did have a similar pen name, but this wasn't one of hers.

(Yes, it's a Wikipedia entry. Deal with it.)

On the other hand (in the continuing spirit of this thread), she did invent D&D. Gygax apparently based the game on a book called "Quag Keep".
