OT: The Hobbit

[Comeds]

You'll still be able to see this in 2D, right?

I can't stand 3D movies. I want to feel immersed in the story, not like I'm part of it.

Except for pron I feel the same way.

I never thought about pron in 3D. It may be time to shop for a 3D TV...

I highly recommend the new Octomom self pleasure movie she just released.

(I shuddered just typing that)

Wow that's amazing, after not reading the Hobbit in 30 some years I just finished re-reading it again about a week ago...

Can't wait for the movie... What's do I have in my pocket!!!

Oh man oh man oh man!


I'm pumped!

How would we know? Wait, did you just watch the Octomom movie? Because then I think we have an idea of what you have in your pocket.

Second Hobbit movie to be split into two films? | Den of Geek

There is so much story to the Hobbit, I can see it making three films without a problem. I'm also not just a casual fan of Tolkien or the genre in general, I wouldn't mind 3 ten hour movies. The more landscapes of Middle Earth and shit, the better. I'm due for a LOTR marathon soon.

I heard Peter Jackson is thinking of making a third movie for the books but not from the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit. it would be from the appendices that would BRIDGE between the books but the Movie Moguls dont want to do that unless they have bigger success than before. (how can they not)

I'm just glad PJ is really loving this world and wants to continue to do it. there is no one better for it IMO

Second Hobbit movie to be split into two films? | Den of Geek

Is Peter Jackson considering extending his two-part venture back to Middle-earth into a trilogy of sorts?

That's the word from the director's mouth as he walked the press line at this year's Comic-Con. When asked by Hitfix if he was considering splitting the second film, THE HOBBIT: THERE AND BACK AGAIN into two movies, Jackson answered, "We have certainly been talking to the studio about some of the material we can't film, and we've been asking them so we can do a bit more filming next year. Which, I don't know what would come of that, whether it'd be extended editions or whatnot. But those discussions are ongoing... I'd like to shoot a bunch more material that we [couldn't] shoot. There's so much good stuff in the appendices that we haven't been able to squeeze into these movies, so that's a discussion we're having, yeah."

So what does this mean? You've got to believe Warner Bros. would be willing to make the investment for more shooting if that means getting another film out of the deal. THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy was big business, raking in nearly $3 billion worldwide, and the money the studio would have to put in would easily be recouped by stretching the series out for another year, as opposed to just turning the two films they have into extended editions for a later home release, which would net them a little less in the bank.

But is Jackson's vision for a two-part HOBBIT conducive to making this longer? Is there enough material to seamlessly be added for a third movie to make sense as part of the story telling? Plus, might the fans strike back at this idea of all series' finales now being divided into two films? These are questions Jackson is going to have to answer carefully before he proceeds, because, while it seems like one cannot get enough of these Tolkien adaptations in his hands, forcing a third film if it's not really there could damage this pre-LOTR tales.

Don't just do it, because you can... only do it if it works.

hope they dont but hope they do. Im conflicted. I just dont want it to end

I trust Jackson to make the right choice.

A little bluray, extended edition marathon with surround sound is heaven.

THREE HOBBIT FILMS!​

they could have done 3 Fellowship, 3 Two Towers and 3 Return of the King really with the way those books layout but only fanboys would love this.

They totally should have. Then he could have included Tom Bombadil!
