Let The Hobbit Happen!

[Knight of Gondor]

I think it's a question of whether or not the public will want to see it. I think they will, just coasting on the hype as a result from the trilogy. However, in my opinion (and I know it would never have worked this way), it would have been better if we'd seen The Hobbit first. That way, it would be a step UP (as far as plot, quality, development, etc.) instead of what it might be now -- a step down. Of course, being that a good deal of time passes in Mirkwood, I suppose they could devote some time to that hunky hottie, Orlando Bloom!

I also think that, if they are unable to get Ian Holm, then they should abandon the idea altogether. He isn't very young anyway, (yes I know that age thing at the end of RotK was just makeup, I'm talking in general ) so I question whether or not he'll be able to carry off being the main character, and the strenous tasks involved. Although I once heard that Elijah Wood said he'd be charmed to play in The Hobbit. I wonder if anyone has told the dear fellow that Frodo isn't IN the Hobbit?

I think it would be interesting to see PJ's version of the Hobbit. If it varied very much from my wiev of the tale, I wouldn't watch it again. I'd forget it and keep my old and dusty opinions about the characters, places and so on.

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.

Me too. I guess there won't be such a huge amount of teenyboppers among the audience if there's no Legolas and Frodo and Aragorn and Figwit and... (with no offence)

I haven´t been able to go to the downs in a month. AHHHH!
Anyways, I would be interested in what it could turn out like.Iwant the hobbit to happen because I think that truly finishes the whole Lord of the Rings thing and it means I will have something else to look forward too after the EE.

I am all for a Hobbit movie as long as PJ does it, like he suppossed too!!!! I'm so excited, it going to be awesome!!!!

[Lhunardawen]

My apologies, Arwen, but my opinion is contrary to yours. A movie of The Hobbit is fine with me as long as PJ is not directing. I think he has done too much harm to Tolkien's works. But that is only my opinion. Ah, well...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, or the point of a discussion would be rather lost

Lol. I find that odd. I mean, that he didn't know that. Oh well, maybe he wanted to try out for one of the dwarves of something..

Anyway, if The Hobbit would be on screen eventually, I would be very disappointed to see Elijah (as Frodo) there....

Heh

I think that the Hobbit would be a good film. But the thing is; I doubt that the film would be anything like I had imagined it would be like. Just as LotR. It doesn't have to be bad, but of course, you always want the films to be the exact way you’d thought it would be. Well, that's me, I don't know about you. In a film that is based on a book, I always would've preferred to see the images I saw in my own head while reading, be re-created on screen. I also would have wanted the things I liked best or found most interesting on screen. The director however, will have his/hers own "images". (Which is kind of sad...I knew I should have directed the LotR films..)

I don't think that Peter Jackson would do a "bad" job, if he made the Hobbit. (I don't think he did a "bad" job on LotR either.) If someone was supposed to direct the film, I would want him to do it; yes, even thought he messed up a few things in LotR.

So, I guess I'm all for making The Hobbit into a film. I mean, no one has to see it if they don't want it...At least, the option is there. :-D
