Didn't they announced the release dates a week or two back? Two consecutive christmasses if I remember correctly. Not sure which ones, doubt it is this year.

I hate when they do that as with the lord of the rings...suppose it gives you something to look forward to.

I did have a look at the hobbit-film forum for details and info but they had all named themselves after characters and were a bit too much into it so I was a bit scared

hmmm, how are they going to squeeze 2 films (eg. 6 hours, 8 hours for the extended version) out of a plot that goes like this, Little bloke goes on walk up a mountain, finds a ring, goes in a wood, nicks a cup off a dragon, starts a war, goes home, has sex with a pig.

At least that's how I remember it 30 years on

Sorry for the plot spoilers

The original idea was to go as far back as The Silmarillion. Which was written after Tolkein died by his son (from notes written earlier) and goes into where Elves and the like came from, perhaps they still will as I agree the Hobbit surely cant be 2 films long :lol:

maybe they'll somehow add in all the stuff they omitted from LOTR like all the tom bombadil story :? or maybe just the pig sex scene?

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, arrives in cinemas on December 14, 2012 followed by The Hobbit: There and Back Again on December 13, 2013. Shooting them now - although they're having a break as Martin Freeman is back in the UK to film the next series of Sherlock.

forgot to answer the question.

As the return of the king ended with an elderly bilbo having written his Hobbits tale book and showing it to frodo it'll probably pick up there somehow and start telling it in flashback.

Legolas and Aragon are also in it :shock:
I'm sure when I read the Hobbit years ago neither of these 2 characters were in it but I guess they both add a little sex appeal to the film.

Also they guy who played Guy of Gisborne in the new BBC "Rob Hood" series is playing a dwarf :shock: :shock: :shock:
seriously he is 6ft at minimum, unless they have a camera trick to make actors look smaller, I know they used a little boy when filming Frodo by Gandalf in the Lord of the Ring films

I wouldn't worry about it they've already had the practice. Jonathan Rhys-Davies who played the dwarf Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy is 6' 1".

I believe Guillermo del Toro, who was originally picked to direct, was still the principal writer of the screen play. Can anyone confirm?

Read "The Strain" if you're into that type of thing. Top 3 (maybe top 2) best vampire books I've ever read.

You have to admit, the pairing of GdT & Jackson should make for an excellent film.

I hope so although I thought some of the dwarves looked a bit plastic faced in the trailer.

Likewise, not too convinced by the trailer. The casting doesn't look great either.

I've been waiting for this movie for what seems like years and it's one of the few books I've read a multiple of times.

I can see them milking it for 2 parts but to be fair so much happens I can see the need.

Fingers crossed the stellar names directing/producing it will pull it off.

Christ :!: That's even less inspiring than the 'Dark Knight Rises' trailer :shock: .

I'm not sure that they've even completed filming both movies so worth considering that they didn't have that much in the way of completed footage to work with at this stage.

Have to say that I'm not that excited about the prequels (the first of which, I think, adapts the book & the second consists of 'new' material), for the same reasons that I couldn't get that excited about the Star Wars prequels i.e we know exactly where they are heading.

However, no reason to think (yet) that both flicks won't be worth catching when they're eventually released...
