Well, he's a maiar, not human at all, and he's been there for over 3k years, so it wouldn't be a hobbit's lifetime that would visibly change his looks  | ||

Thing I wonder is if the hobbit was intended to be a "before" story or he only made it so after decdiing to wriote 3 more books | ||

The Lord of the Rings is one book divided into three parts because of the economic problems in the time period. It's a sequel. On December 24 2011 11:32 Yoshi Kirishima wrote: Hmm yea.

He wrote the LoTR as a serial for his son while he(his son) was serving in WWII, a cool fact about it. | ||

Even the shortened cartoon hobbit is epic...Probably add four hours of length to what you have there, and then divide it into two movies, with ridiculous budgets, and 2011 CGI type stuff rather than 2001...basically it's going to be amazing. | ||

Oh... please give me this film <3 Edit: In the trailer the guys all start singing in a deep tone. Does anyone know if that style of music has a name? Or where I can find anything similar to it? I don't mean regular choir music, I want stuff like that. One or more deep voices singing in that slow pace. About medieval of fantasy type things as well. | ||

He wrote the LoTR as a serial for his son while he was serving in WWII, a cool fact about it. No he didn't. There is a quote from Tolkin himself that states it's bs that he wrote it while in the war. Also, he stated that he didn't write it for his son. And that he saw his mistake in trying to write hobbit as a "childrens book" (and while telling his son bed-time stories) which he corrected later on. | ||

And most of the buildings that are not sets are actual scale models, like Rivendell. Gollum is fully cgi though, but they have gone to great lengths to use puppets/costumes and scale models wherever possible. I guess I failed  , I thought it was real actors with a little bit of cgi magic.I guess plastic prosthetics that look like plastic are a simpler explanation or maybe something is weird about the makeup. Am I really the only one that thinks the faces look wierd? | ||
