The Neverending Story Returns in 2012
YES! You are not dreaming! According to imdb they’re making a remake of the wonderwonderwonderful movie “Neverending Story”. Planned release in 2012, and let’s hope it won’t be delayed.
Okay, so now you’ve calmed down from these amazing news right? Let me hit you again – Leonardo Di Caprio is gonna be in it.
I must say I’m really, really excited since I am a huge fan of the book and the first movie that was released in 1981. Second movie not so much, it did not have the same magical feeling!
My favorite character is of course Falcor, a “luckdragon”, even though I always thought he just was a giant, flying dog. I mean – doesn’t he look just like a really big golden retriever?
Falcor: I like children. Atreyu: [nervously] For breakfast?
Who can forget this guy? Atjoooo!
I cried. A lot!
The princess! <3
And the music – don’t even get me started. I mean – Limahl FTW!
Well, as far as I’m concerned, DiCaprio will only be producing the film, not acting in it. But either way, I’m just as thrilled as you about this remake. The Neverending Story is by far the best book that’s ever been written and published, and I’d love to see a movie based on the book that actually gives it the justice it deserves. Don’t get me wrong now, the first film was a great movie by all its means, it’s just that it left out so many things that’s in the book. I mean hello! what on earth happened to Bastian’s adventures in Perelin, Goab, with the woman Aioula etc? Sure, the second film scratched the surface on the whole Xayide thing, but that’s about it. So yeah, this is REALLY something to look forward to!
