Would be cool but unless the Tolkien Estate changes their stance on the movies it won't happen. They seriously dislike the movies.
Yeah. PJ needs to save stuff for the Silmarillion films.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
The 5 wizards showed up in the third age about 1000 years after Sauron lost the ring...so I think they can throw some of the history in

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
The first and most of the second age for the most part I can understand...but the third age (especially from the Appendices in ROTK)...I assume is already rights owned from LOTR...otherwise one could say the same about Moria and other stories from the ROTK Appendices to fill in the gaps that were not written down in the Hobbit...Time will tell I guess

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Only things that are in the appendices can be filmed as far as I know (outside of the stories themselves). So if it's not there and I don't re,e,ber if it is then they can't. Also putting it in there I don't think aides the story all that much to be honest. Not for the casual movie goer I should say.

9+ hours of movie for a 300 page children's book? There's gonna have to be A LOT of new/added stuff then.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Since when was this turned into 3 films? Haven't been following this thread at all but remember it originally being split up into TWO films (which was long enough considering it's based on one single book).
Edit: One page ack. Thank goodness, I thought it'd require more digging!

The book was simplified. I think the battles and Smaug parts of the book will be extended quite a bit.
If I can remember right, the Battle at Helms Deep was a very short read in Two Towers, but look what they did to it on screen.

haven't really kept up with this much, but Peter Jackson is still involved, yes?

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
I dunno if I can take 3 more hobbit movies, hopefully we'll get some more human characters to follow along as well, that would help keep me interested in the now extended story.
