I'm for the Hobbit, not only because it is one of the most phenomenal books ever written, but because of the exact opposite of what you said,
Aman.
I
want to see what the public does with thirteen Dwarves, a Hobbit, and a Wizard as main characters. Not a pretty face in the lot, and I'd like to see a movie sell because it's good, not because it's got hotties.
I'd also like to see something outshine that 70's version.
