Heck, I personally considered it unfilmable when I first read the book. The best you could come up with was something like Willow or Krull | |

| Jul 22, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | YungHummmma | @brhans, I dunno... I mean it depends how campy they went with. But everyone mentioned there were very talented people. (But I do agree that it could've been disastrous as well.) | |
| Jul 22, 2015 at 14:02 | comment | added | brhans | Because the Beatles doing LoTR would have ended up being about as close as Space Balls is to Star Wars ... | |
