Sweet! Tennant is amazing.
I'm just worried that the style and mood of the movie will be similar to LotR. I trust Jackson, but The Hobbit is such a light-hearted, fun book and I hope that is represented in the film.

Gimli and Legolas were pretty much reduced to comic relief, he tried to fit in battles wherever he could just to have more action (like the battle for Osgiliath, which doesn't even appear in the book) and he completely butchered Faramir's character. Ah well, LotR's one of my favourite childhood books, so I guess I'm going to look at the movies differently than if you've never read the books themselves. Denethor was even more butchered than Faramir :<

Hm yeah, but I can forgive than seeing as the movie's already ridiculously long and they couldn't have fitted every character into one movie. :p
Faramir's story though is actually longer by the ridiculous change of story for no reason, just so they could show the battle at Osgiliath.

The Hobbit's release will cue the end of the world you heard it here first lol

This has been rumoured for a long time but still unconfirmed.... Just saying bro!
|
Damn. Hopefully this movie will be awesome. ^^
|
Jackson went onto claim that the difference between 24 and 48 fps is "significant", likening the technological evolution to when "vinyl records were supplanted by digital CDs".
Not really the best example...
|
yeah can't wait.. lord of the rings is basically one of the best fantasy stories ever.. loved the extended lord of the rings films.
XD

John Noble was pretty cool as Denethor!
:D

John Noble is cool 
Can't wait for The Hobbit Movie, been waiting a long time for this. It was the first book i read at quite young age actually, and i loved it so much i read LoTR immediatly afterwards and reread them all a couple of times!!
Actually, seeing this topic appear here, think i'll read The hobbit again, starting tonight!
|
Richard Armitage?? So awesome...
|
The Silmarillion next? 5 parter!
|
Also worth noting is the huge amount of money that is being budgeted for these films. 250 million dollars each, compared to the 97million per LoTR film. Going to be pretty much the best day of 2012.

I really hope this happens.

This was literally my favorite childhood book. One simply cannot match the immersion this book provides the reader.
If they fuck this up, I might go insane
|
I'm really looking forward to this. Normally, I'm afraid of people continuing a great movie (or trilogi) after a few years, but it seems to be most of the old crew and Peter Jackson.
Truly hope they'll pull it off.
|
I once marathoned the extended cuts. 13 hours in the day. It was pretty fun. I planned to marathon the appendices but never got around to it.
|
Oh man, I loved the hobbit, my whole lord of the rings reading experience started and ended there lol. So happy they're making a movie on it, but i'll probably be let down by like other book inspired movies (eragon...)
