I want to address the sudden outflow of all these new trilogies that are comming out in the first place. I'm not sure but do you think it could be that the success of the old and new Star Wars trilogies were so spectacular that it really set the "trilogy wave" going? Geez, how many are there now that are supposed to come out? Let's see, the Matrix, X Men, Spiderman, Star Wars (pre-trilogy, if you will), Lord of the Rings (of course it could be nothing less than a trilogy), and even a movie that I don't think was extremly popular but was a great movie if you like studing the Civil War, God's and Generals. I can understand some of these, but when it comes to movies like you're talking about Sam, original fantasy films wanting to do trilogies before it even comes out, it's getting kind of sad. First off, it has to take a lot of work to do a Fantasy in the first place, or at least one that don't sound too cliché. Then, you have to get something you know will catch the attention of the population, and I don't know about you but I'm not the one to just sit down and watch any fantasy film or read just any fantasy book. I think it really takes something like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, which were big books before made into a film, to catch the attention of others. Maybe not though, I'm not a person who's right all the time or a person who has a great opinion to state, I could be totally wrong. I just really think it will take either just great special effects in the trailer of a fantasy or one based on a previous work. Well, I'll say it again, I'm not a very good writer and I hope that was understandable enough. If not, sorry.
