Trailer's out:

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
maannnn i cant wait for that! i was watching thw two towers and return of the king last night. I cant believe its been 10 years since they came out. It'll be nice to see middle earth with fancy new cgi again.
I wonder how closely they will stick to the story.....its been a while since i read it, but it wasnt as detailed as lotr, so they shouldnt have any reason to leave anything out (im particularly looking forward to the tree spiders and shit)
It's being split into two movies: An Unexpected Journey, and There and Back Again.
Jackson is using material from the LOTR appendices to flesh out the story a bit, while focusing more on Gandalf's excursions since he keeps disappearing for half of the book.

that will be nice to see.....i watched the special extended version of ROTK, it was nice to see some stuff they had cut out, like how the palentia ends up in the water from inside of isengard, or how sam managed to sneak into baradur without any orcs seeing him.
man, im gonna go read The Hobbit again, just for fun.
Oh also, here's a picture of the dwarves in their entire company:
I like that they made Gloin (second to the left from the center) look so similar to his son Gimli.

The trailer looked promising indeed. After the LOTR movies, I trust Jackson to handle even extra material well, so I won't be worried about divergences from the book. In fact I'm even looking forward to it, not in the sense I wouldn't like the novel, not at all, but it'll be interesting to see since things work differently in a movie compared to a book. Plus based on that trailer he might intend to make the movies more epic than the original story.

The Hobbit is officially confirmed to be three movies instead of two.
Then there's this:
"According to Jackson, the third film would make extensive use of the appendices that Tolkien wrote, to expand the story of Middle-Earth, and published in the back of The Return of the King. Martin Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen have already been contacted about appearing in a third film."

You won't catch me complaining about this change. One more movie to definitely look forward to! I also thought the LOTR movies were quite long, despite being cut and edited to the absolutely maximum (or minimum length in other words), so it's better Jackson didn't feel forced to make more mammoth movies that will see less serious people crawling out of the theaters and giving bad reviews just because they couldn't bear sitting long enough.
I don't know that the Hobbit has enough source material to be 3 movies long, even with the material from the appendices. It means Jackson will add new elements, like a love story (ugh). People gave Liv Tyler a lot of shit back before the LoTR movies came out for the addition of story to give her character more screen time.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Actually, i read that they really wanted to make three movies instead of two because they had already filmed way more material than they could fit into the two originally planned movies, so now the cost and time to make a third movie is seriously reduced because they already have a ton of stuff for it filmed.

That's understandable, but was all the material filmed true to the story or was it a lot of added story from the director/screenwriter?

There will be spoilers (possibly):
It was a fine movie. Three hours was over before I knew it. Even though there were definitely some very humorous parts and some very "fantastic" (fairy tailish), just like in the book that was basically a children's book, it was far more epic in shape, resembling LotR. At least in my opinion. Of course I wouldn't have expected anything else from Jackson, and the fact it's going to be three movies already suggested as much. I'm very happy because of this.
I only learned to recognize a few of the dwarves during those three hours, but it pretty much couldn't be helped. If you throw thirteen dwarves in during the first moments of the movie, all at once practically speaking, there's no way avoiding it. In fact I doubt I will recognize half of them by the time I've seen all the movies.
There was plenty added to the movie compared to the book, but so far I liked everything added. That extra stuff contributed greatly to the more serious general atmosphere and epicness, plus it will make these movies tie better in with LotR.
I can probably name 2 of the dwarves, pretty good movie, although i`m so not a fan of night fights :/

I think Dredd is better than the Hobbit, hell I enjoyed it more. Maybe because of the lack of hype around it
During Smaug's attack on Erebor, I was thinking that if the dragons in Skyrim had been that terrible, the game would have been more epic.
you knowing me or not knowing me is Irrelevant, look at my profile and you will see my join date...... if you needed more clarification on who you addressing ask me, assumption gets you know were ...referring me as a fan boy, .The movie was ok but you saying you don't like night fights holds little to no weight regarding everything else that the movie had shown or try to portray ... you opinions does matter that is why we are "discussing" but meaningless troll responses will get recycled and thus being called out. In the kingdom of the blind the one eye man is left King... the phrase couldn't been said anymore clearer have a good day Mr. masters
