It's Rather Fine

The year 2012 is shaping out to be a rather nice year, isn't it? Studies aside, 2012 is a year filled with promises and exciting events.

Of course, Sherlock series 2 premiered in the UK in January, and I managed to watch them all. The London Olympics is just around the corner and while I'm always interested in the Games, this time round it is a larger dosage of anticipation. This is probably due to it being held in London, one of my favourite cities, with the additional love for it from British TV influence.

Near to the end of the year, there'll be two hugely anticipated movies - Breaking Dawn Part 2 and The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey.

I'm more drummed up over The Hobbit, naturally. The leading character (Bilbo Baggins) is played by Martin Freeman, an exceptional actor and the John Watson to BBC's Sherlock. My love for The Hobbit has increased and became more "personal", because the actors from Sherlock co-starred in the production as well. How can I be expected to just look on with detached interest?

A note to myself, I've to go to the annual Comic-con one of these years. The temptation is just too great and I feel that I'm losing out so much of the awesome stuff that is happening in the entertainment industry. This year's convention is obviously marvellous since I've so much interest in the movie offerings. Gods, I've missed out...

Breaking Dawn News

It's been confirmed!

Breaking Dawn, the last book in the Twilight Saga, is set to be adapted into a movie. At last! Whether it'll be spilt into 2 parts remains to be seen.

Who is the director for this? None other then Bill Condon, Oscars winner and nominee. Frankly, I've never seen movies he directed or screen-played so I can't say much about his style.

But we shouldn't pass judgement too quickly. We jumped on the bandwagon so fast the last time Chris Weitz was to be director for New Moon. There was so much ill-will going on and on and look what happened? Majority of the fans gave positive reviews for New Moon. The same goes for David Slade.

Breaking Dawn is a delicate matter though. There are just so many aspects of it that are potentially problematic and will fail big time if handled wrongly.

Renesmee will be one big problem to overcome and I can't wait to see the end result. Freaky CGI baby, we can all do without, seriously. And then, there's the issue on gore, blood, love and imprinting...

It's obvious that Breaking Dawn movie will not pass the PG-13 rating because of several issues, particularly Stephenie Meyer's.

Another wonderful news is that Stephenie Meyer will be joining on board the team as a producer! Wow, congrats! With the author herself on the team, fans can be more assured that her vision will be brought to life in the silver screen.

Indeed, the news about Stephenie Meyer joining in the producing of the film get more comments than the announcement of the latest director, which is kind of weird because based on my experience on the site, fans alike like to comment (good or bad) on directors or scriptwriters.

Woah, I can't wait! This is very exciting!
