Ello BladeThatWasBroken.

When I read the info on that site, one question kept on popping into my head: why?

Why would we want a movie of the Hobbit? I personally don't. Is there a thread about this?

Well, I won't participate in that ''quest''. What about you?

Cheers mates!

Aethelwine.

Cheers mates!

That answer is a cheat, Aethelwine - avoiding the question!

However, I agree - I don't think they should make a film of The Hobbit either. For my part, this is partly because it was one of the first fantasy books I ever read, and so to have it made through someone else's mind could go very wrong - it wouldn't seem quite right, when I have such a vivid image. Also, on the part of the general public, I don't think it would actually be as popular - maybe people would go to see it out of pure curiousity, and the die-hard middle earth fans would be bound to, but come on, the main characters are dwarves - and, no offence to them and this isn't necessarily my personal opinion, but they are hardly the most glamourous or particularly engaging of the races of Middle Earth, as the LotR films showed.

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.
