While it seems there is at least one adult in charge of
TH movie plottting (see thread: Guillermo explains ditzy Philippa... ),
how about some musing on how they might treat some
movie bits For example, Gandalf twice has the dwarves drop
in on an unsuspecting host a few at a time. While this does
fit in with del Toro's "repetitive fairy tale theme" observation,
might it not be viewed by certain involved Hobbit movie
people not named del Toro as too
repetitive? Even if they are dissuaded from introducing the
dwarves by having G toss them in might the theme (properly?)
be only done once. If so when? I'd be inclined to use it with
Beorn since it would be a lighter touch to ease the generally
more dangerous/darker feel as Thorin & Co. progress East.
