Film The Hobbit

[rynnor]

I do hope Frodo isn't in it. He's not in The Hobbit at all.

No but Bilbo does give Frodo his personal journal 'There and back again' (which is 'the Hobbit' ) when the fellowship reach Rivendell so he could actually present the story.

 

[rynnor]

I'm hoping that in a masterstroke he completely ignores Tolkiens work and based the films on homo floriensis - little ugly hobbit folk running round a desert island - with enough panning shots of mountains he can spin that out to 9+ hours

 

[Aoami]

im not

 

[Scouse]

Frodo's in it. Elijah Wood did an interview with Empire not that long ago.

Turns out we're getting "Not The Hobbit".

Which is a shame

Well Hooray for Captain Negative

Well Hooray for Captain Negative

Its not neccesarily negative - he could be making a decent trilogy its just not going to be the hobbit book.

 

[Tom]

From what I can gather, he's also using parts from other Tolkien books.

Well Hooray for Captain Negative

Not really, not at all, the guy wants to maximize his profits, what's wrong with that? - If he does a good job of it, I don't care if it's 3 parts, OMFG STARWARS COULDVE EASILY BEEN 1 FILM.

Star Wars was one film. Originally. The "Part IV A New Hope" title was not in the original theatrical release. It was just "Star Wars".

 

[Aoami]

Star Wars was 9 films originally according to Lucas

 

[old.Tohtori]

Scripted 9, initially released as one, later turned to IV --> VI as it took off, then turned to 1-3 + IV-VI for younger generation and reboot value and now 1-3 + IV-VI + VII/7-IX/9 with no younger generation motif.

Simple like a jarjar of midichlorians.

Thus snuck up on me. Wasn't aware it was coming otu so soon. Sitting around the office watching the production videos for fun

If you watch the prod videos, he gets thinner as they go on. Which is a bit weird to watch over 2 hours

Fuck me, good job PJ He should release a Hobbit-themed exercise video.

Second time in 3 months. Wouldn't be a news item unless the movie was coming out...

 

[old.Tohtori]

More because "omg children escaped lava death!" sensationalism

But the volcano being more active towards the movie is a plus.

 

[DaGaffer]

Even when the volcano isn't active its still pretty dramatic up there:

 

[Ormorof]

premiere today in NZ so we finally get to find out what the hordes of reviewers/celebs think of it!

 

[Tom]

I predict it will be brilliant, and I'm looking forward to two years of waiting for Christmas just to see these films.

Then I'll keenly await the arrival of the Blu-Ray special director's box set edition of all six films.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Unless the company gets sold like lucas and the rights to DVDs are on different companies

 

[DaGaffer]

I'd like to get excited about this, like I was for the LOTR films (got to go to all the Premieres - thanks EA) but I'm just not. I can't get past the blatant money-grabbing, and unfortunately the stain of HHGTTG hasn't washed off Martin Freeman for me; he's OK as a supporting actor but I don't think he can carry a movie.

 

[Job]

Yes.he was a bad choice..should have been an unknown actor.
