    Well at least he is going into some of the other history and stories. We'll see.

    Interesting, but I wonder if all that extra stuff will be back stories? And might water down the main Hobbit story.

    I doubt that The Simarillion or Children of Hurin would work as movies. Althought there are some interesting stories in them.....
    I saw this quote....and instantly thought that bits of The Simarillion were apparently being worked into the script...that might work....unless they recap Gollum's tale again
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    tolkien's estate has said no to touching his other works. the only reason these movies got made is cause the rights were sold years ago, i think when tolkien was still alive. early on jackson did say something how he would have liked to include stuff from unfinished tales since it could bridge the two stories together but that he couldnt use any of that source material....

    still irked this is a trilogy considering the friggin' book takes like a day to read while the other movies were also a trilogy but had 1,000 times the pages ...

    Same here. I don't get why they're so concerned with getting everything in this time around when they left so much cool/important stuff out of the LotR trilogy and you know stuff is gonna be reworked and chopped to make The Hobbit more movie goer friendly. Still love the movies and have no doubt all three of these movies will also be badass but it's an obvious cash grab to make The Hobbit a trilogy.

    I'm excited. Trying not to expect too much, but a trilogy would piss me off

    i really hope its good, the hobbit was always my favorite middle-earth story. but it sure seems like a cash grab to make this a trilogy. the lord of the rings was 3 books, so 3 movies seemed fair, they edited and changed alot to make it fit, but it was still very good.

    now they are gonna make 3 movies off 1 book?? the hobbit was in no way a bigger or denser book than any of the LOTR books. so if they would have taken to the same methods of transitioning between book and movie as last time they could have told the hobbit story in 1 movie and it would have still been on par with the LOTR trilogy.

    when they first said it was 2 movies i thought they were just not gonna do as much to make the story fit in 1 movie like last time and try to use as much of the book with out changing stuff. 3 movies... i have a bad feeling it will be watered down and slow, with lots of stuff that never happened.

    i just hope this prequel trilogy isnt as bad as the star wars one was

    Bought my ticket last week, really stoked to see it. IGN's review kinda confirmed my fear, they mention that it drags in places and its like an hour into the movie before anything really happens.
