Sage Hobbit movie advice for PJ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think 1 or 2 movies would work for the hobbit. even though it's a kid's novel, it would still require a fair bit of dumbing down. why not, as Sir Ian has mentioned, have it as a tv mini series? The way the book is written (to me anyway) would lend to this idea, as the chapters seem 'episodic' in their construction.

ps no doubt this has been mentioend before, but there's only 1 person who could play Beorn, and that's Robbie Coltrane.......
