Oh YES! Good to know that you'll finally have a say on movie story. Man, that's awesome.

Can't wait for that Amazon thing, either. But do you guys know at least which part of the story the movie will be based around? At least, do you know if it'll be in the Mask of Life story arc, or not till at least 2009?

If I'm not wrong, in the talkback he said that the earlier it can come is 2009. Just wondering Greg, when you are talking about the technical issues, is that one of the page cannot load all?

Night - Basically, it says the page is done loading but I just get a blank screen. Happens with both Messenger and the forums section on my desktop. My laptop works fine. They are running different versions of Windows (laptop is Vista).

Takatu - Movie would be post-2008 story. You basically need six months or so to do a script, another 12 to animate the movie, and then a few more to get it duplicated, packaged, and shipped to stores. So the earliest we could possibly get a movie out would be 2009, at which point there would be no point in telling 2006-2008 story.

Awesome. Sounds like you've been busy, Greg.

Can't wait to hear more on the Amazon thing.

This is great! It's a pity that the earliest this new movie will come out is in 2009, but at least we know it's coming. And also, Greg, is you next blog post gonna be just talking about Amazon or scolding it?

Ah, okay -- that's what I thought, but when I heard that LEGO would be doing two to three movies a year (I realize none of those would all be from the same line), I figured that they'd be shorter than the other Bionicle movies.

Good to know it'll be regular length!

Sorry, Taki, I did not make myself clear -- I didn't mean I would be blogging on here about Amazon. I meant I will be doing a blog on the Amazon.com site -- they have a set-up where authors can blog there.

Takatu - No, the number of movies they are doing doesn't affect the length of any given movie.

Greg

Will you get your name in the credits this time? If I remember correctly, out of the three movies so far your name only appeared at the end of the credits of the first.

Comic-con sounds so fun.

Can't wait to read stuff on Amazon. (Will that be updated more than this?)

Greg happens to me too. I disable my internet security eveytime i use the forums. Only solution I found.

Finally another movie. 2009 it's not so far. Thanks for the good news Greg!

A question: no news about a videogame?

I haven't heard anything on a videogame, but that doesn't mean there isn't one -- just that no one has told me about it yet. Not sure how well the last one did, though. (The LEGO-based games that seem to do the best are the cute ones like Star Wars -- it seems like the "serious" games are maybe not violent enough to compete with what's out there).

Greg

Another movie will be great, even if it is about a year and a half away.

Great, at least the movie won't be rushed

I hope you can get your messenger fixed, have you PMed a FL?

--BufFooN

Nuva King - Thanks for the advice, that seems to work. Odd.

Greg

Great news there Greg!

But if your blogging on Amazon, that won't mean your abandoning us here will you?

And will it all be BIONICLE related or just you and your fantastic books related.

And i hope that they don't make the movie to, well less BIONICLE. Glad you have a say in it. You always seem to know what us fans want and keep us well satisfied.

Thanks for the update.

Yeah, Comic-Con was awesome. Remember me? I wa that kid who asked you a billion questions concerning future Bionicle plotlines? Yeah.

Wait-- another Bionicle movie? SWEET!
