I hate when changes are made to films. It's that simple.

The Fellowship prologue had Ian Holm as Bilbo in the Riddles in the dark scene and that's that. The film was made for 2001 and should be kept as such. "Tinkering" with it is something George Lucas would do.

With that said, bring on the Hobbit. I can't wait to see that exact scene, replicated next year. In fact, I can't wait to see the riddles in the dark in general.

This is going to be fantastic.

That's the argument everyone makes when this conversation is had.

Everyone.


And I don't get it. PJ is not Lucas. I don't see Jackson going back and adding now creatures or changing the special effects. I am only talking about fixing one continuity error.

There is actually one spot in the SW OT that was changed in this way that I really appreciate. And that's the end of ROTJ where Luke sees the "ghost Jedi's" and Anakin is young. The actor was changed to keep continuity with the new trilogy. Some may not even like that, but I think it helps to make the series feel real and cohesive.

Having two different actors playing young Bilbo will take me out of Fellowship when I watch it now, if only for a moment.

Like I said,


DO NOT WANT!





Just watched the Hobbit trailer for the 5th time. Man, almost a year away and, even then, we gotta wait ANOTHER year for ANOTHER one.

Meh, I still don't understand why.

Just seems like an irrational emotional reaction. But it's a reaction that most people share, so I guess I'll go crawl back into my hole.

So, I don't know if it has been posed yet (and there are a lot of pages to trawl through) so please just direct me to the answer, or speculation as it may be, but I need to ask: What are the chances we'll see HT make some Hobbit figures? I would DIE of joy if they did, and I assume it would open the floodgates to them making LOTR figures too.... sadly, but a dream I fear.

Btw, I definitely want the teaser poster.

Yo, Maglor I don't like how you turned out. I'm going to go back in time to when you were a kid and make some adjustments so you're more like me as an adult.

Sound good?

Btw, I definitely want the teaser poster.

Great poster, really fitting for the film too.

Have to agree. I thought that change in OST was perfect and fit in well. But, I was one of the few that enjoyed the prequels for what they were, more star wars. (I was pretty young when phantom came out).

Nice. I hadn't seen that yet. I will definitely have one framed.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Its just amazing how much cohesiveness, the music alone, brings to it. Such a great trailer.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

I may enjoy this more then LOTR.

I could never get into it. They're good movies. I'm just eh to them.

But that trailer looks really nice. And I love Jackson's style.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Yeah, the trailer is awesome, I've noticed that many movies are moving away from the traditional trailer type. Soft opening, loud middle and a money shot at the end. These new trailer types and tones are very cool though. If anybody catches my drift.
