Del Toro and The Hobbit Movie

[NASEDO]

I hear since Del Toro is directing the movie will be in Spanish with English subtitles

 

[Bannister]

I do...........

I wouldn't mind that except that the language Tolkien uses is so beautiful.

I am so excited about the Hobbit turning into a Movie I have loved that book since I was a child. The only thing that I'm not sure about is the second movie that will be based on the years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the rings

Lets hope that Hugo Weaving is bought back too reprise his role as Elrond as Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin and the rest of the Dwarfs do pass through Rivendell

If they do bring back Hugo Weaving simply for the sake of continuity, lets hope that Del Toro asks him to remove that stick that seemed jammed up his rear corridor in far too many of the actors films. In both the MATRIX trilogy and LOTR he acted as if he was in a Cecil B. DeMille silent movie and had never seen actors after World War II ended.

Some of that was his own fault but some it had to be laid on Jackson as the director who wanted that icy aloof tone.

And I hate the way the man delivers lines as if he is reading from sixty foot letters chiselled on the side of a mountain. But we shall see.

I agree, he seemed a bit lofty as Elrond (and I liked him just a bit aloof) but did you feel he was that way in "Pricilla, Queen of the Desert" ?

Lol, funny. I really wonder how he will handle the talking animals.

Too bad he wasn't dressed the same way during the interrogation room scene
in the first Matrix - "Mr. Anderson...one of these costumes has a future..."

 

[Shankara]

Im not looking forwad to this. It cant be as good as LOTR.

That's funny, I thought he was the first person to really get how Elrond is supposed to be. The films were great in part because they avoided the wretched "naturalistic" acting style which plagues Hollywood today, and got real actors that put some strength into their acting without the dry stuff most movies get stuck with. Boromir I didn't like so much, but I really did love Elrond's performance.

Captain could certainly be more parsimonious with is replies, but they are well thought out.

 

[Kratos]

I didn't think Hugo Weavings Acting in the LOTR Trilogy was that bad or Sean Bean's for that matter since we are saying who had stiff acting or not
But there were points in the film where I felt Miranda Otto as Eowyn was all round bad but half the time she nailed it

 

[Captain Faramir]

Captain could certainly be more parsimonious with His replies, but they are well thought out.

Thank you! I do love indulge myself in a glut of verbosity now and then, so you'll forgive me if I tend to be less frugal than forward.

That....was awesome. I love you a little.

 

[Captain Faramir]

A little is better than nothing I guess. Thanks.

I'm really looking forward to this. Del Toro is a magnificent director who won't have to work too hard to bring his vision in line with Jackson's. Anyone who has seen Pan's Labyrinth can see that Del Toro has a similar style and sensibility.

I'm not worried about it being as good as LOTR. I'm just looking forward to spending more time in that world, with those characters. I can't wait to meet Thorin and company. And just seeing the first meeting between Bilbo and Gandalf will be worth the price of admission to me!

One of the things I am looking forward to most is seeing (hopefully) a true Dwarf Kingdom. We see the great Elvish cities and the great cities of Men and townships of Hobbits... even the cruel dwellings of Orcs. But we never see a proper Dwarf kingdom (Moria does not count since it was a broken place).

 

[The Josh]

Yes! I am so looking forward to seeing that exact thing. A chance to really see what a Dwarf Kingdom might have looked like if it was real.
