Let The Hobbit Happen!

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?

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

Perhaps he thought he could be Bilbo. He was young then, anyway.
But somehow I can't picture him doing those things Bilbo did in the story.

Just because this is the latest Hobbit thread here is a link that some might find informative, others find annoying. *shrugs*


Hobbit Update -- sort of

As for the Elijah Wood thing, he may just want to have a cameo. He didn't say he'd be charmed to be Frodo...

I'd guess after doing so spectaculary with the trilogy, he'll be going more for the big time - Bilbo Baggins.

I really want to see the Hobbit and Silmarillion as movies... t'would be interesting indeed. I've been going through the book, and seeing how many people it would take... to see if I can round up enough friends to put together a few scenes... snrk.

But if PJ does do the Hobbit, I will be quite happy, as I thought that he did a great job on the LotR, even if he did alter it quite a bit. No, I can't wait to see if they do the Hobbit.

But I think that Elijah Wood would not be much of a Bilbo. No, he's just not Bilbo, and even if he did get the role, everyone would still think of him as Frodo. Maybe Billy Boyd though.... tee hee.

If they do make it, it would be quite interesting to see how the crowd that looks for the cute characters react. They'd have Bilbo. And that's it, although Legolas could appear in the Mirkwood scenes... for those girls who must watch it to ogle.

Well, that's my thoughts on the Hobbit movie. And I do hope that it happens.

Billy Boyd would be quite nice, yes But actually, I think Ian Holm did a fine job, and would do again - it would also fit better in people's minds and be more consistent, I think.
