My son just graduated from high school. He has wanted to be a paleontologist since he was 3. None of us know what is the best way to go about getting into that career field. Is there a particular course track that he should take in college? What about community colleges as a starting point? Do you even need a college degree? Are there any jobs that would set him on that track? Does he have to move to Montana from Florida for a better start?
I'm in the process of writing a screenplay for a children's movie. How do you go about getting financing for your idea with just a script, a storyboard, and maybe a 30-45 second trailer? There is a local production company that I would like to use to help with making the movie, but I am not what you would call "cash rich" at this point in time. Any suggestions?
I do have one question, though. Why did the Tolkien trust wait until all of the legal battles had been resolved before filing suit? They waited until 7 years after the release of the first film to start legal action. What gives with that?
Additionally, they are trying to quash the production of "The Hobbit" as a film by NewLine. Now, I don't have any particular feeling about NewLine one way or the other, besides the fact that they are a bunch of tight-fisted jerks who aren't willing to pay people what they agreed, but I don't think that anyone else besides Peter Jackson has the juice to make this film with the same quality and depth as the original films. That, coupled with the fact that he already has the digital and physical properties necessary to start production makes him the logical choice.
