Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Yeah that was great. I'ts starting to bring back that same warm feeling as when i saw the LOTR for the very first time.

Did you folks notice who was doing the short narrative bit at the very end? I got chills.

I agree with ya I think PJ will nail the overall feeling of The Hobbit but also make it feel a bit more like LOTR than the book does.

Thank God for that, too. Always felt that The Hobbit was a mere shadow of LOTR. It's also not as mainstream-accessible. Jackson will fix that with his interpretation.

It will happen with Jackson at the helm thats for sure for folks not aware of The Hobbit. I do think the story itself is amazing in its own right.

That video was pretty damn awesome. Gave me chills all the way through and especially the very end of the video.

The thing that could also make THE HOBBIT absolutely huge is that it's actually more kid-friendly than LOTR.

Yeah, that definitely raised a few goosebumps.

I missed that feeling. 2003 was a long time ago.

It was written more as a children's story but does take a bit more LOTR feel towards the end. The movie though I think will feel more "adult" like from the start than its book counterpart. Either way I truly think this is gonna be amazing and I'm looking forward to Dec 2012.

Looks like Lawrence Makoare (Lurtz, Gothmog, Witchking) will be playing the Great Goblin.

Edit: Never mind, apparently this is old news and not confirmed. I got prematurely excited.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Since they're filming, I wonder if they're gonna bring any footage to SDCC this year?

Last year, Jon Favreau showed 8 minutes of COWBOYS & ALIENS just 2 weeks after filming started, complete with effects. So you never know...

I thought I was alone. I felt the same way!

Holy cow--that brought a tear to my eye. Hearing Ian Holm at the end just about knocked me out of my chair.

This gave me chills. Awesome.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Just looking at Sting there, and it doesn't have the elvish script on it yet. Now i'm wondering whether they literally just hadn't put it on that particular sword yet as the camera was on it, or whether that is indeed the final design when Bilbo first get's it, and the inscription is put on later by Bilbo? Maybe at Rivendell?
