Riddle from Del Toro?? - Page 2

I suppose the 'intense PG-13' rating may be in connection to the fighting. There's quite a lot of it in the Hobbit. Although I hope they won't make it more adult in general than LoTR. That would IMO be a bit silly too, to make the most fairy-talish of Tolkien's Middle-earth stories the most adult of the movies.

Personally, I'd prefer a "G" Hobbit.

It is a kid's story, after all.

Any story I read is a mature grown-up's story.

I don't know whether TH will be more adult than LotR, but it will most certainly be more adult than the book. I've said several times (maybe on other boards, can't remember where) that they're aiming for the same audience they hit before and just as they brought LotR down to a teenage level, they'll bring the TH up to that level. The posted chat above seems to confirm that.
