The Hobbit movie will happen!

Hobbit movie without Peter Jackson

According to the BBC website, New Line will go ahead with bringing 'The Hobbit' to the big screen. But without Peter Jackson at the helm, since he's still in dispute with New Line on the cash earned on the LoTR movies.

Still, it would be awefully nice if they'd be able to get sir Ian McKellen do return as Gandalf.

Allow me a short fangirl scream: Hobbit Movie! Wheeeeeeee!

Wow...this could be interesting. I really hope that WETA and Co. gets in on this, although that ain't likely, since they're really involved closely with PJ. But they did a stellar job on LOTR.

What I couldn't figure out was, why PJ didn't just do the Hobbit while he was at it in the first place? While he had the people, the place, etc......I mean doesn't The Hobbit go hand in hand with the Trilogy? PJ did a beautiful job, visually excellent. But, I would love to see The Hobbit done by PJ.

Good Lord look at that pic of PJ talk about lost weight. Doesn't even look like him.

So How about Andrew Adamson to direct hobbit? Make a good fake headline doncha think?

Arien the Maia · 11-25-2006, 12:39 PM

I think that this will quite possibly be better than LotR simply because it's a shorter book so they won't cut have to cut much out (hopefully!)

Hobbit without Jackson; sounds hopeful.

But does anyone else wonder what this prequel they are talking about is?

Quote:

Jackson, a devoted Tolkien fan, said he had been removed from the Hobbit project by New Line, who also hold the rights to a second Lord of the Rings prequel.

Quote:

Meetings with film executives had been planned, Jackson explained, but then New Line called his manager to tell him that the company "would no longer be requiring our services on The Hobbit and the prequel".

Quote:

New Line was "actively looking to hire another film-maker for both projects", Jackson added.

What is this "second Lord of the Rings prequel"?

cee2lee2 · 11-25-2006, 06:21 PM

Don't know what they are referring to as a 2nd prequel to LOTR. Did anyone else hear that The Hobbit is being planned as 2 movies? Could that be what is meant?

Gwaimir Windgem · 11-25-2006, 06:33 PM

Since the second quote mentions "the Hobbit and the prequel", I doubt it.

They probably will because its the fad right now. They don't need to at all, they could film them all here in the U.S. we have some of the most beutiful scenery in the world scattered about our continent.

That's what I'm afraid of. Very, very afraid of.

I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping its a film adaptation of Christopher's latest work. That's the only light I can see on the horizon.

Oh god, the sil on tv would kill it. great eye candy for fangirls though. no story though.

jammi567 · 12-08-2006, 06:18 PM

Some of the seperate stories could work well eg. 'Beren and Luthein' and 'Turin Turambar'.

We can only hope that whoever does it doesn't strech the movie out too long, otherwise, it could get boring.

Nah, the problem is there is too much story!

Beren and Luthien cannot work on the screen. No matter how beautiful the actress you find, she will not be Luthien.

Turin would have some scenes I can't imagine being brought to the screen well, especially the bits with Hurin and Morgoth, where the children are first cursed. And you really couldn't skip that part...

The last sane person · 12-08-2006, 08:06 PM

Exactly, too much, so they cut out and you are left with no story. Just eye candy.
