Hobbit Production Video #6

[Galadriel55]

Oh, good, they're on the second part now!

They'v shown the same landscape (one of the rocky ones... I know I'm very unspecific) in one of their previous videos... hmm... how long ago have they really been filming there?

And the "Rohan music theme" will stop being "Rohan"... there's no Rohan in TH... At least PJ didn't put that in!

I hope they will put my favourite theme - the one they play at the beginning of FOTR with the title. I didn't notice it in this clip.

And the landscape is just beautiful. Lovely. It makes me wish I could just go tour New Zealand.

So at least the music and the scenery will continue to be outstanding.

I think it makes sense. Just to double-check myself, I opened the book at approximately the middle, and that was Mirkwood. But all of Mirkwood things should be kept in one film, so it makes sense to just add the barrels - it completes a "section", but leaves room for suspense. And Laketown is a logical beginning too.

The only thing I'm a bit curious about is how they will deal with Beorn. Since I found an old news article about a weird-looking goat being used somewhere in the film, probably as one of him animals, I haven't heard a wod about him in the movie. I really hope he won't be taken out. If he's taken out because of time limits, I'd find it understandable (like my attitude towards the lack of Bombadil). But since they found enough scenes for two films, I'll be pretty angry if they don't find room for Beorn.
