Can we please change the title of this thread. The Hobbit is not a Lord of the Rings book. That's like saying Star Wars: A New Hope is a Return of the Jedi film.

This movie is not a prequel or sequel to The Lord of the Rings. LotR is a sequel to this.

I was a bit disappointed that the tone of the trailer is so somber and foreboding. The Hobbit is a significantly more jovial and fun book than LOTR. I hope that translates to the movies.

Sweet. The song was beautifully stoic, and, to use the word of an above poster, foreboding.

Looks good - at least as good as the trilogy. The book was amazing, and definitely not as dark as the trilogy, which I hope the movie reflects.

Oh god... I had no idea Peter Jackson was even working on this book. I'm a huge fan of what he did with LOTR so really, really, really excited for this movie!!!

Much better than I expected. Hopefully this will bring life to Tolkienforum.org again, as it completely died after the last LOTR movie came out, haha.

Smaug is going to be so badass.

Although we might have a two year wait for him. He might not make his appearance until the second movie in 2013.

I don't understand. How is this any different than the Lord of the Ring movies that have already come out?

Christopher Lee Will be back as Sauroman. Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, and Cate Blanchette have all been confirmed as reprising their roles. Elijah wood will provide some sort of transition role. They will go with Gandalf when he leaves the party of dwarves and does random badassery around Middle Earth, unlike in the books where it just kinda half mentions it off hand.

Well quite simple LotR is based on the LotR trilogy, where as The Hobbit will be based upon The Hobbit.
