Notice how David used "PJ" later in his post though. Perhaps Steve is Peters middle name?

Can you imagine a movie basied on the OGRE(T) / GEV univers? That would be cool.
Steve Jackson expects people to provide a link ack to his site when using "OGRE"
http://www.sjgames.com/
So there it is.

Peter? you mean "The Rock"? LOL I guess I had the D&D thread on my mind, and was thinking of the old Steve Jackson 'Pathway' type quest books.

Next time I'll try to remember to go generic,.. "Mr. Jackson" (but this 'generic' approach might confuse the issue even more,.. Michael's making a movie??

)

But in spite of the name goof, I'm not looking forward to another King Kong remake. So I'll just ignore it when it comes out.

To each his/her own.

Cheers!

Isn't Peter Jackson the dude who made the Lord of the Rings trillogy?

IF so, he should branch out and take on the Dirk Pitt novels by Clive Custler. Or better yet, Re-do Buck Rogers.

So we got to get Peter Jackson to do a movie based on a Steve Jackson game? G.E.V. or Car Wars?

I remember Michael Jackson wanted to do a movie where his soul was trapped inside a magical car that would fight crime and do cool things. And it would be driven by a little boy...OF COURSE!

Don't drink Jesus Juice and drive McCauly!

Thread jacking by own....tee hee hee.

I would love to see the whole Dirk Pitt series movies made into movies. But I think Clive Custler would have to seriously re-write Raise The Titanic, though.

As far as Peter Jackson, I would love to see this new King Kong movie. Can you imagine what Ray Harryhausen could have done with today's CGI technology? Bring on the T-rex's and pteradyctals, something which was sorely missed in the remake. If the LOTR trilogy is any indication, then this movie will be terrific.

Also, I've heard or read somewhere that for his next project, he's going to do The Hobbit. Since LOTR was so successful, and a lot of fans, myself included, would have wanted to see the whole book on film, rather than a 5 minute briefing that didn't even include the dwarves or the dragon, he's going to do it. Don't know when this will come out, but if this is true, I can't wait.
