El-Hazard Online / Re: If Steven Spielberg will make the El Hazard mo
« on: September 28, 2004, 11:00:18 pm »


I have to say that Solaar's casting is pretty good.  On the choice of director, while Spielberg or Peter Jackson would do a credible job, I would prefer to think somewhat outside the box:

1.  Phillip Kaufman (mostly known for "The Right Stuff."  He can keep a long narrative going, and has an interest in a wide range of subjects.)

2.  Vincent Ward (excellant visual stylist, mostly known for being one of the fired directors of "Alien 3" and also for "What Dreams May Come.")

3.  Nicholas Meyer (he did Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn.  Solid hired gun/screenwriter when working with the right material.)

4.  Joe Johnston ("Rocketeer," "Hidalgo", "Jumanji."  Good sense of wonder.)

5. Ridley Scott  (if he has a good screenplay adaptation of El-Hazard, set him lose).

Hey... I hadn't thought of that! It does make sense. The rather arrid climate and terrain, ancient tech, little oasis pockets of fertile land.....


Also the fact that everyone's able to pretty much understand each other.  The names of various people and things...and the inhabitants of El-Hazard seeming to be, for the most part, indistinguishable from Earthlings.  Of course, this can all be more easily explained by
narrative conveinance (screen time isn't cheap) and the much more plausible alternate/parallel universe explanations.

But, hey, if one has to defend El-Hazard being in the same universe as Makoto and company's Earth, then it's not a bad way to go... :)

I could have sworn I once saw an animated PNG...hmm, perhaps I was mistaken. ;)

I haven't had my crash course in image standards since the old days...1997 to be exact.

So it does, so it does. ;)

But what about potatos? Okay, I'll stop.  Cool .gif, btw.  If it is a .gif.

Hmm...shouldn't that be potato instead of po-ta-toe? ;-)

Hello,

I've had some thoughts on this subject...  

One, owing to director Hiroki Hayashi's inspiration for El-Hazard from Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Mars" series, perhaps El-Hazard is actually Mars only a long, long time in the past?  Of course, there are very big holes in this theory...in fact the only way to make it fly is to put the caveat in that El-Hazard *cannot* be in an alternate universe/dimension, which I think most will agree it is.  After all, it's the easiest explanation. ;)

Two, as for the physiology angle, I suspect perhaps that as Makoto and his pals gain powers by travelling to El-Hazard, perhaps if an inhabitant from El-Hazard were to ever travel to Earth they would thus *lose* whatever inate powers they had had on El-Hazard.  In other words, the trip back and forth working both ways.  Of course, how this would effect a being such as Infurita is open to debate.  This could be the case, especially as the OVA makes staying in El-Hazard permanently a very, very tempting possiblity for our brave travellers.  After all, what the hell's the point in going back to Earth permanently besides for a short visit here and there?  :)

Sorry if this has already been kicked around here before, just things I've been thinking on and off since first watching the OVAs about six months ago.

For my inaugural post here...I'd like to also vote for Diva.  

It's the hair, I think.   And hey, imagine their kids...bugrom, human, or some combination thereof.  Hell, they may even be able to fly.  ;)
