It isn't clear how big of a role it is or whether he'll be in both films, but Orlando Bloom has been cast. + Show Spoiler + It does make some sense since he did indeed live in mirkwood at the time of the dwarves' imprisonment. So far nothing about Aragorn. I'm not exactly sure what he was doing doing during the events of The Hobbit + Show Spoiler + ( On December 22 2011 01:01 Jayjay54 wrote: I tell this upfront.

This is by far the most common complaint people have with LOTR. Imo it's just one of the things which made the series amazing. I loved the writing style and devoured every single description Tolkien put there. It just made my imagination fly really, really far away. | ||

I just started on the audiobooks yesterday and I can practically see the shire right in front of my eyes. | ||

From the slapstick humour dwarves or whatever they are. Either way I didn't get a hard on, like I did when watching the LOTR trailer at the movies the first time. The unexpected party in the book is a fun and silly part of it, it's supposed to be funny. | ||

Well, it'll have a different tone than LOTR, that's for sure, but I don't think it's necessarily worse, it just follows the style of the books. I didn't get the feeling that the films are done wrong from this trailer. | ||

To make a move about the whole Silmarillion would be impossible. But there is a lot of good stories in there. A movie about Turin or Beren & Luthien would be awesome. | ||

So the way the dwarves are presented just shows that it's not going to be as dark as LOTR was. I can't stop watching the trailer atm... especially the song is just too awesome. | ||
