If this is an extended journey, so be it. Tha appendix has plenty of material that could be used to add to the Hobbit storyline. Sure, money will be made. Money was made by the Lord of the Rings and I trust that Jackson will pay homage to the material. <br /><br />Once again, the books are the Tolkien vision, and no one can surpass them. However, the movies comprising the Lord of the Rings and the soon to be Hobbit are Jackson's adaptation of the Tolkien material. Being movies, they tell a different story as most stories adapted from written works do. Regardless of what Jackson does, there will always be those purists out there that will refuse to accept anything but the written work. That is their right.WesAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13239616212285352137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-66866986264232703282012-07-31T07:08:27.133-07:002012-07-31T07:08:27.133-07:00I am trying hard to reserve judgment until I have ...I am trying hard to reserve judgment until I have seen the films...but...<br /><br />I don't believe that just because you can do something, you should do something. While I love the Lord of the Rings films, I find that there are some scripting/plotting decisions that PJ/Fran Walsh/Philippa Boyens made that I'm not crazy about. I am not looking forward to having them do the same thing to The Hobbit.<br /><br />Too much of a good thing...bsmith13https://www.blogger.com/profile/13798210541703983356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-13570405582020712272012-07-31T00:54:24.166-07:002012-07-31T00:54:24.166-07:00Needlessly long/drawn-out into 3 painfully long fi...Needlessly long/drawn-out into 3 painfully long films. As if LOTR trilogy wasn't long enough and The Hobbit doesn't even come close in terms of epic scale or excitement.

While we're at it, let's turn all literature into, not one, but THREE films! <br /><br />The hobbit book wasn't that long, and yeah, I've read the appendix too, but perhaps it wasn't included in the actual narrative for a reason...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-56749219046167505852012-07-30T18:36:05.629-07:002012-07-30T18:36:05.629-07:00Actually the 3rd film is set for Summer 2014.Actually the 3rd film is set for Summer 2014.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
