Why doesn't Peter Jackson direct the Hobbit movie? Though I haven't seen the 2nd and 3rd movies, I hear he did a pretty good job of it.
I contend the trilogy would have been even more successful if they had released the Hobbit prequel first.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Yeah, it would be awesome if he just directed the movie(s) himself but apparently he's too busy... i'm guessing that after he finished the LOTR trilogy he was probably in such high demand that his movie schedule must be filled for a couple of years :P
It would be best if he did it himself tho.. most of the cast and crew already know each other and they know the way he directs and what he wants them to do and whatnot, that alone would save a bunch of time.

Two part movie? Now they're just milking the franchise.

This can't be solely a "The Hobbit" adaptation right? I mean the book is only about 300 pages long...Originally Posted by Animeniax
Spoken exactly like someone who hasn't seen the 2nd and 3rd Lord of the Rings movies.
These Hobbit movies will contain more original subplots than the entirety of Tolkien's work itself. Jackson will find a way to fill 2 movies.

I and others railed against the entire Arwen/Strider love story bs subplot when it was announced in advance of the movie. Liv Tyler personally had to go online to address the hate because the uproar was so uproarious.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

stryder and arwen werent getting it on in the books?
It was only hinted at in the books and not as elaborately detailed as in the movies, and it's spellt "Strider".
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

Arwen is mentioned like twice throughout the series. Her and Aragorn's story is briefly recounted in the Appendices of the books, but it is done so in a non-fiction style.
I think the worst offense in the movies was Aragorn's fall into the river and journey across the desert distraction story in The Two Towers that went absolutely nowhere. I don't know why Jackson wrote that in.
That said, cramming The Hobbit into one movie would probably be doing so at the expense of cutting out a lot of things. As long as Jackson is faithful to the story and doesn't cut out Beorn or something in favor of whatever fanciful thing he can dream up, I honestly don't mind.

I love the LOTR trilogy. The Hobbits might interest me especially if it is done Kiwi styled. Hooch hoooch.
Do you love the books trilogy or the movie trilogy? There's a big difference.
I'm a book fan myself, though the ending was anticlimactic.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

Fan of the movie trilogy, special extended edition with the extras.
I tried reading the book after watching the movie and the chronology of the story made me confused.
Same here, movie fan by default because i never read books, ive never liked it :P
I really hope the Hobbit movies are as long as the extended LOTR ones

I made sure to read the books before the movies came out, which was why the first movie was such a disappointment.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

Yes! Hes the only one capable of doing it justice.
Indeed he is, this is great news.

I think Del Torro would have been a much better pick. I'm actually disappointed that we'll just get a prequel to the Lord of the Rings movies, rather than a look at what a creative director can do with the same source material.
