    Would anyone want a Hobbit movie? Other than the cartoon?

    I certainly wouldn't object.

    As long as Jackson and crew are behind it...

    I think it would take away from Jackson's LotR flicks.

    I remember reading in an Entertainment Weekly article somebody from the production saying that if the trilogy was a hit, they would consider making it. Now that the first one is a big hit and a great film and the next two will be, this pretty guarantees the Hobbit will be made after LOTR's is complete. Hopefully, they can get Ian McKellen and the behind-the-scenes people back for it.

    We've already seen a clip or two from it in the opening scenes of FotR.

    So long as Jackon & Weta got to make it, it'd be great!

    So, who'd play Bilbo?

    I just don't think the Hobbit is as epic. To me, if they made the Hobbit, it would only be for money.

    I think they should have made the Hobbit first. I liked the book version, and I didn't like the book version of LotR, but if the Hobbit movie were to be made by the same people who made the movie of LotR (almost as bad as the book) then no way.

    The Hobbit may not be epic but it is something Lord of the Rings is not, an adventure. In an adventure the reader (or audience in the case of a movie) feels the desire to be along for the ride with the protagonist(s). Lord of the Rings fails where it's precurser succeed.

    Sir Ian Holm, of course.

    They made him look quite a bit younger for his scene in the prologue.

    No objections on my part, but perhaps it should have been planned earlier on with Hobbit first, then it would make more sense.

    "Too old. He played the OLD Bilbo."

    He's 50 when he sets off. Plus, makeup can do wonders.

    How old was Frodo? Wasn't he 50 too? In the books, I thought he set out on his 50th birthday. [face_plain]

    I'd love to see theHobbit.

    One Bilbo Baggins' elevnty-first birthday he dissappeared, and Frodo turned 33.

    17 years passed and Frodo left on Bilbo's 128th birthday, and his 50th.

    His quest lasted one year and he stayed two years with *edited for spoilers*.

    Balrogs can bounce!

    Gandalf turned him to good and had a dentist remove his teeth! Plus balrogs can bounce!

    That's how they escaped from Shadow.

    Arwen rides after Frodo to help them on their quest because her father, Elrond, is sauron!

    :eek:

    More spoilers?

    lol I mean, saying that his quest lasted a year, but then he stayed two gives away a little too much about his fate ;)
