THE HOBBIT MOVIE(S)

[DavidW]

Peter Jackson has now decided that the Hobbit will be 3 movies, and there may even be another LoTR movie made from stories from other Tolkein books.

The original book was about the same length as each one of the 3 books comprising LoTR, which was made into 3 movies.

I was a bit pissed that the Hobbit movie was going to be 2 movies, but now 3? each a year apart?
WTF Mr Jackson? this is milking it too much imo.

LoTR fans?
what do you all think?

I think it could be broken into 2 movies nicely, without feeling like its being milked too hard... I dunno if the other bits or stories will make a decent movie tho, but I was PISSED that he left out the whole Tom Barrow segment from the first LOTR movie.

Agreed w/Maxx re: Tom Barrow. I would be okay with two movies, but one would really be ideal.

Agreed w/Maxx re: Tom Barrow.

SO PISSED!

I think both part of this movie will rock. I will surely watch this movie. Because these type of movie i love and another point of watching this movie is that Peter Jackson is mine favorite director of all time.....

Guys
PJ said today its gonna be 3
isn't that too much ?
( even tho I am a big fan)

and...
Tom Barrow?
You mean Tom Bombadil?

Yeah, Maxx, its Tom Bombadil...You are so fired! I was less than thrilled about that too. That dud was awesome!

I think 3 is def milking it. 2 would be nice, 1 would wind up like the trilogy, good but squished. I do like bacon though.... hmmm... lol. 2 has my vote! Jackson is the best man for the job, I'm so happy he stepped up and took it! I heard he is optioning my fav series, Temeraire. I hope he does it!

Temeraire?
I have read those books, they're fun, the Napoleonic war with dragons, I guess, after Smaug in the Hobbit it kinda makes sense that PJ would option the movie rights

 

[KellyFrancis]

Temeraire!! I hope it never ends! lol

Yeah, Bombadil... I knew Barrow didn't sound right, but he lived in or led them to the Barrows, I figured it was close... Either way, he was an awesome character and I'm still PISSED he was skipped, him and the Old Willow that swallowed Frodo (or one of them Hobbitsss) Its been a few years since I read them, even tho I did read them "several" times.

And yeah, 3 really sounds like milking it, I hope he doesn't make it drrrrrrrrag like ROTK did a few times...
