The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

I just want a Children of Hurin movie. If I can get that at least, I will be quite satisfied. More films of independent tales from the Silmarillion would always be welcome, though.

Most definitely.

I'm most interested in seeing the Fall of Gondolin.

I remember reading somewhere that this was one of the first essays Tolkien wrote. At least I think this was the case. He took a lot of time writing it out pulling from his own wartime experiences. One of the most epic battles in Sil, huge loss for the elves and truly memorable.

That's pretty close to the actual storyboard for that scene.

Ok, that made me laugh.

I need to post that in the other thread. Hopefully it will let me do it in Spoiler.

Question to those who followed the whole "IP rights to Middle Earth" deal closer than me: if Jackson and co. weren't greenlight to do anything outside of LOTR, Hobbit and the appendices, does it mean they cannot even mention characters or events from Tolkien's mythos that are not covered by the stuff they have rights to?

Correct which is why they can't mention the names of the blue wizards.

Pickups in May!

Yeah, it sounds like some of them are going back for some stuff.

I heard that some of them are doing some stuff for people. They may even be doing some things too!

Why would they need pickups? I thought everything was CGI?

That's what some people believe.

Wish I was there, but here's hoping the footage ends up online.

I'll be curious to see if TABA will be DLC or if it will get its own game.

Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

"DLC" ?
