Gibson Jumps on Teen Trilogy

I did not enjoy all the sequels of Harry Potter but I definitely enjoyed 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. I am waiting for this one. Lets see how it goes.

i am a huge fan of harry potter. i did not like the LOTR, because, well, who wants to watch 3-4hr movies about little hobbits walking to a volcano to destroy a ring? I also havent seen Narnia. I probably wouldn't like it either because i didnt enjoy the books as a kid. Harry Potter is amazing. Seeing as how the last book is being release next summer, and the last 3 movies will be filmed, one currently being filmed,(HP & the Order of the Pheonix.) it's slowly coming to an end, JKR isnt planning on righting any more Harry Potter books and its rumored she is tying up the characters futures and what happens in their lives at the end of the 7th book. obviously leaving not open for anymore books. ever. which makes me sad. so i am hoping this new Mel Gibson Trilogy will be good and magical enough to catch my attention and make me a fan, while i recover from Harry Potter ending.

Yes! After I read those books I thought how good a movie would be out of them! If Mel Gibson is making them, they'll be amazing.

I have always enjoyed fantasy. When I was growing up I saw all the disney cartoon movies and even into adulthood have seen them again. I now own the CD's where they're available. I hope Mel Gibson can make them as interesting as Walt Disney did for his movies.

I was hoping that Mel Gibson would follow the lead of Cecil B. Demille and create a more modern "Ten Commandments" movie.

I couldnt agree more. It would be awesome to see a modern Ten Commandments!

excuse me but are not we forgetting the other 'harry potter'? Surely those of us who read hp have noticed 'Sword of Shannara''Elfstones of Shannara' and 'The Elcrys'.....Is Terry Brooks dead or what?

As a big fan of Mel Gibsons and his fantastic film on Jesus..I must agree with Mark & Cristy...a remake of The Ten Commandments would be wonderful and MUCH MORE HELPFUL TO THE WORLD.

Mel Gibson is one of the best actors ever and has become one of the leading writers or movie makers in this time of age. If he has anything to do with any movie whether it be acting or directing one it will be a movie to see. Harry Potter was interesting and great for all kinds of age groups. Although looking to be the next to produce a movie for the teens, you can bet Mel is looking for something to catch everyones eyes and be another box office smash.

I've read the books and thought they were wonderful. I always get nervous when they turn books into movies; so few movies do the books justice. But Mel Gibson is good at what he does so I'm hoping for the best.

Nobody. Nobody was interested in those movies at all. I felt sorry for Peter Jackson. All those empty theaters...

I think Mel should stick with Biblical films. I wish he would make a movie about the last book of the Bible, Revelation. Maybe the book of Daniel or Job or a lot of others. I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy those. The Song of Solomon would be a little too erotic for the big screen. I don't attend the movies but I would maybe buy or rent the DVD.

The Lord Of The Rings movies are the best movies ever made. It's sad to me that people would minimize it to a 3-4 hour movie about little hobbits walking to a volcano to destroy a ring when they are, when given a chance, so much more than that.

Who wants to see little hobbits running around to destroy a ring? That comment is ignorant. If that is all you got from the story (book or movie), please go back to high school english class and learn how to recognize and interpret the deeper meanings to stories. Thank you.
Onto topic, Mel Gibson has proven to be a great director and writer. Anything he comes out with will definately be worth seeing.

I wish Mel would get involved in making movies from the LEFT BEHIND series of books written by Tim LeHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. They ARE about The Book of Revelations. There is SO MUCH power in the series of books. Brought to life by the right film maker, such as Mel Gibson, would be a truly AWESOME thing!

Maybe "jesus freak" gibson and his father "holocaust never happened" gibson can team up and re-write more history.

gibson is a pathetic sellout

I love Libba Bray's books. I'm excited for the third book... I think Mel Gibson would do a good job on the movies. There shouldn't be a lot to interpret in the books so I think as long as they stick to the book with no real changes I think they'll be good. (I would like to see Gibson do a Ten Commandments film that would be great)

If all you think in LOTR is that hobbits just run around and try to destroy a ring, you are sadly mistaken. LOTR is probably one of the best trilogies of all time. But anyway, i cant wait till the these movies come out, Mel Gibson is amazing at what he does. It will be awesome
