What Does Gandalf Think About The Hobbit?

Ian McKellen Talks Gandalf & The Hobbit

The Hobbit miniseries? Sounds like it could possibly work.

Lady of Rohan · 03-03-2003, 08:17 PM

I think it would be great! McKellen is right; there are so many different sences to act out that if you did a television show you could spend more time on each seperet scene.

I think that it would work very well.

Hobbit is a much more linear tale than Tolkiens other works, perfectly suitable to an extended TV series IMO

Elvengirl · 03-03-2003, 08:54 PM

Hmmm...
I think this could either be really good or really bad.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-03-2003, 10:50 PM

Ooo, all the dwarves...it'll just be one big dwarf-joke.

Seriously, I think it could be interesting. Just as long as that pitfall as avoided, it has potential to say the least.

It could work.

***Fat middle*** · 03-11-2003, 04:26 PM

i think it's a great idea, though perhaps PJ is not the best director for it. The Hobbit is very far from what we have seen in the movies so far.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-11-2003, 05:38 PM

Yeah, good point...imagine the Hobbit seeming like the LotR movies!

Elvengirl · 03-11-2003, 07:30 PM

I think PJ could do a good job. He did great with the Shire and party scene. As long as he didn't turn it into an ominous story.

Mark of Cenla · 03-20-2003, 01:03 PM

I would watch it no matter what, but I hope that PJ has nothing to do with it after the way he screwed up Return of the King . Peace.

Elf Girl · 03-21-2003, 04:14 PM

What do you mean the way he screwed up RotK? That movie hasn't come out yet...

I think the Hobbit miniseries would end up overly humourus and vile.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-21-2003, 04:52 PM

I expect he refers to the whole Scouring of the Shire business. A terrible tragedy.
