The Last Unicorn

[butterfly]

On a whim, I checked the official site for the live-action movie version. From the 'News' section:

We have the pleasure to announce that Mia Farrow has accepted the part of Molly Grue, the outlaw woman with the pure heart that can see a unicorn. Ms. Farrow has already brought the unicorn itself and Lady Amalthea to life in the original animation classic with her fabulous voice acting, so we are especially proud to have her in our new film, too.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers will be Schmendrick the Magician. His incredible versatile and inspired acting style will add to the character humour, depth, passion and unforgettable moments.

We are also very pleased that two of the world's finest composers have expressed their interest to work on the new soundtrack: Adiemus and Sacred Spirit ( Virgin Records).

1106 new storyboard pictures have been produced to clarify all the special effect scenes in details and a complex technical production concept has been establish to co-ordinate all the special effect departments and the many CGI companies involved.

The production is now scheduled for a December 2004 theatrical release. We are currently in the middle of set and creature design and expect to start shooting in August 2003. The production timing will be synchronized with the production of CGI (computer-generated images) and special effects.

December 2004! Something to look forward to the winter when we'll have no new LotR movie.

Note: I 'officially' decided that I was in love with Christina on December 11th, 2001.

...they were going to make a live action "Last Unicorn"! Sounds very promising. As you say, it will be something for the post-LotR time.

Yeah, it all sounds very cool. They're taking their time, which is a good thing.
