This movie is not a prequel or sequel to The Lord of the Rings. LotR is a sequel to this.
i don't get it. sorry to argue logic with you? but.. this movie would be a prequel if LotR is a sequel.

Christopher Lee Will be back as Sauroman. Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, and Cate Blanchette have all been confirmed as reprising their roles. Elijah wood will provide some sort of transition role. They will go with Gandalf when he leave the party of dwarves and does random badassery around Middle Earth, unlike in the books where it just kinda half mentions it off hand. Show nested quote +I don't understand. How is this any different than the Lord of the Ring movies that have already come out? Well quite simple LotR is based on the LotR trilogy, where as The Hobbit will be based upon The Hobbit.
Okay, thanks for confirming that. I had heard he wouldn't be going to New Zealand because of his age but I'm glad he'll be in the film.

A whole LOT of it will be suspect; just because they'll need to build on the White Council stuff.

G-dalf is older. Hobbit is after LOTR?

You know LOTR/Hobbit were books loooong before they decided to make movies right ?!

The trailer itself was far from epic. I wouldn't even class it as good.
But I expect the movie be awesome just because it is LoTR and Peter Jackson.

I may be the only person not really looking forward to this. Its a lose lose to me.Don't get me wrong I loved LOTR but it was a serious movie and book. The Hobbit was a kids book. I don't want to watch a kids movie I have no interest in it. On the other hand if they tried to make it serious I would despise it for straying so far from the book... Don't hate me TL =( PS. Why couldn't they just make the Similarion?
|
I hope we don't spend half the movie in the boring ass forest
|
|

WAIT !!!
|

I really hope they do at some point. The Silmarilion actually has the most potential of all of his works, but it will need an excellent script writer to fill in the gaps and turn it into an audience friendly narrative.
It will probably work best being released last anyway when people have a better understanding of the world already.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT for the epicness. Bilbo is a boss in the book, i hope they give the book justice.
|
I hope the book follows the movie after it is published.
|
We're going to have Smaug... SMAUG!!!!! SMAAAUUUGGG!!!
|
Oooooh yes!!! My favourite book from Tolkien becoming movie is so epic ;D
