It looks as if 20th Century Fox is going to make a 3rd Garfield movie

Garfield Gets Real

It's going to go direct to DVD, and there is no word if Love is going to be in it, but I think it's worth keeping an eye on.

Probably not... That's how it goes in film industry today, and I called it an industry on purpose. It is very risky to produce new films because maybe they won't be appreciated by the viewers, resulting to a financial catastrophy. So now the people in Hollywood decide to make 'chains' of movies. I didn't thought that Garfield was a big hit, and I don't understand why they make a second, and third movie...
Sequels like that frustrate me: it has nothing to do with art. Like the spiderman, pirates of the caribbean and harry potter series too: they have a huge budget, and most of the times they only bring in the double of what was put in the movie. A real succes is a movie that brings in four times the initial budget. This to compare succes of movies as The Graduate, Trainspotting, Evil Dead, Easy Rider,... All of these movies brought ten to twenty times their budget. They're the real successes, but didn't have a huge starting budget. Where film is still an art, not an economic industry, that's were I want to be...

Evil Dead rocks!

And, even though I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, you have to remember that they're books first. Novel series and are in fact common place, so it's not like Hollywood is screwing that one up.

**Trotter** · 06-06-2007, 11:56 AM

As I said at the start it's just worth keeping check on...

I hope she isn't in it. The first sucked and the second was even worse.

Ghostlyjennifer · 06-06-2007, 12:10 PM

I heard in an interview that she would never do a third she was asked but said no. Sorry no source but i do not remember where i found the information from! Sorry

**Trotter** · 06-06-2007, 12:32 PM

It does seen unlikely that Love will make another one, but I really liked the first 2 they made...

StarHawk221 · 06-06-2007, 12:38 PM

Thanks for the (possible) news Dave.

**Trotter** · 06-06-2007, 01:02 PM

Thanks for the info guys. I'm in the 'I hope she doesn't do it' camp. I maybe hasty, but if this is a straight to dvd one, then I don't hold up any hopes for it. If you rememeber they've done a third Summer film. Okay Love wasn't in it, but it was straight to dvd and how did that do?

Thanks for that correction. The sequel theory is only working for a part here. Harry potter is like more like lord of the rings. These series are limited, you know they will end. Though I believe they get too much credit for what they are.
There are so many other good movies that have to work with so much less and are just better, but have a bad promotion, post production because producers rather promote a movie that guarantees a certain success. It is a serieus problem in filmmaking.

You're right there Preston. What you said reminded me of Shortcut to Happiness in ways.

Lord of the rings & the harry potter series are according to my opinion just books that are used to make a chain of movies, that's what links them. And you're correct: promotion doesn't guarantee a thing, only curiousity, but it's that curiousity that makes a good movie 'good' to the public. You have to bring a good movie to the public. If Only didn't do all that well, and I think it's Love's best movie, when you look at the story.
I agree that LOTR is a great trilogy, and there is a difference between it and the potter movies. I just put them together because they are both chains of movies who are, sorry to say: overrated. Sure they are good, but there are so much better movies that do bad due to a lack of promotion. You have to get a crowd warm to go watch it. Off course there will be people thinking that LOTR is the greatest trilogy ever, and that it's epic and stuff... I'm sharing my thoughts with the fellow Love fans!

A lot of bookshops are staying open all night when the last Harry Potter book comes out in the UK next month, JK Rowling is going to make a lot of money that night.
