First we had Harry Potter, then the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
It seems to me that we’re getting quite a lot of fantasy on the big screen lately, and that even WRT books in general, fantasy is faring better than other types of genres.
Obviously I’m a little late in posting this, since it’s pretty obvious this phenomena has been going on for a while now.
But I’d like to know anyway. How come stuff like this (D&D or basically witches/warlocks/wizards/elves/dragons/swords/lairs/fantastic settings etc.) has suddenly sprung forth so rapidly?
Is it because Hollywood hasn’t done this stuff for a while and is fnally catching up? Or is it that our imaginations are more thirsty, and thus we require more exquisite romantic fare?
Don’t get me wrong I’m loving it… I really enjoy this kind of thing. I’m a romantic at heart, and so it seems to me like it’s a really great thing to do. I kind of like being in my own world. No that’s not it. I really enjoy the idea of making my world like this, and showing everyone else it. I wonder if everyone else is having the same feeling at the moment.
What do ya reckon?
Why is it selling so well?
