“I came up with this huge, massive Lord of the Rings epic. It actually got fairly tight and succinct… We actually went in there and for a while had Michael Bay going around with me pitching it… We had props, visuals, toys, storyboards, posters… I made little models of the city. I think it overwhelmed them. They said that they needed 20 minutes for a pitch and I was like, ‘I need at least an hour and fifteen. I’m going to act out this whole movie and show you the whole thing because this movie is going to cost at least $140 million to make. I don’t want you to not know what you’re buying.’”
Float yourself over to IGN to read the rest of the stuff Mcfarlane had to say about the project. It’s sounding pretty sweet to me. Sweet in a twisted awesome way, anyway.
