The Hobbit Film Trilogy Thread

[Not Mr. Big 5,011]

The dwarf designs look hammy to me. Like something out of a Narnia movie.

The dwarf designs look...like something out of a Narnia movie.

Its just the lightin', like Andy said!

[Incanus 5,890]

Wonder who's house it's supposed to be. Looks like Radgy's house to me, not Beorn's. But what would the dwarves do there?

That is obviously Bilbo's pantry you daft Boal!'

It's funny that Balin looks so proper and dapper for a honorable older Dwarf but his brother Dwalin is like a barbarian of the backwoods clad in furs and with iron knuckles and what must be Love and Hate tattooed on the knuckles in Cirth runes.

[Brónach 1,330]

It's apparently the dwarven war cry.

That doesn't look like Bilbo's panty to me!

Trust me. I know my larders and pantries. Look at the cheese on the shelves, the meat on the table, the strawberries on the sideboard and dried herbs and spices hanging from the ceiling. Obvious well-to-do Hobbit hole pantry if there ever was one. I am sure there are a few seed cakes hidden from the Dwarves somewhere in there.

It's in Bombadil's house

By the way, have people seen the film stills on this page:

[BloodBoal 8,711]

Yes, they're quite old!

[KK 3,313]

Where have you been GK? Those pics are some of the first to have come out!

[gkgyver 1,647]

Sorry, I didn't get into the whole Hobbit frenzy until a few months ago ...

Here is a better version of the music I posted:

[Quintus 6,494]

I'm still not frenzied up for it, in these adult oriented Game of Thrones times. But once the score hits, it'll be game over for me.

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

New pic from the Hobbit!

[Jay 46,241]

That's not new and its just a fan who won a contest

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

I know.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Jesus Christ!

[gkgyver 1,647]

You know, with all the odd decisions on this production, I really had to think twice if it was a joke or not.

Could be Legolas' lost brother.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

What contest did he win? A worst fake ears contest?

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

Fan of the Week I guess.

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

new avatar: How radagast should look!

[BloodBoal 8,711]

No Mongolian hat? Pffff...

And what's with the spear?

[Incanus 5,890]

He is a crazy wizard who lives among animals and birds. He has to have something primitive to protect himself with. A stone tipped spear/staff is a handy for shooing off bears and eagles and angry wild boar and Bunnies of Doom.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

Anyway, he looks way more badass on that pic:

Or even on that one, with the Aveng... hum, the Istari:

[JamieC 13]

Fascinating article here about Tolkien and the role of illustrations in various editions of his work: http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article1124297.ece

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

And what's with the spear?

it is a staff with a runestone on the tip...

[Jonesy 55]

new avatar: How radagast should look!

I like that figure

[Brónach 1,330]

Luke is it yours? Do you have more of these?

[BloodBoal 8,711]

That's what the government wants you to believe!

[gkgyver 1,647]

I see this bumped thread and hope for new tidbits, only to find useless banter. Every time. Damn you, bloody Boal!

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

Luke is it yours? Do you have more of these?

yes, i have gandalf the white on shadowfax. but it's my brother who paints them.

he has the Uruk-hai, Rohirrim, Orcs and human-elves from the prologue, Aragorn, Mouth of sauron, witchking, saruman.

Thanks to me his rohirrim are all different since each uses one horse coat whose knowledge i provided

Unfortunatelly... i cant provide photos he has them in his house :/

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Brónach 1,330]

"Who's there...?"

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

"Cue Phsyco music"

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[KK 3,313]

Since K.K. is always late, I'd thought it would be better not to wait for him to share some new pictures, so here there are!

KK is never late, BloodBoal. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

And that Gandalf picture is basically an HD copy of his character poster from Comic Con.

[Jay 46,241]

Cool pic

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[gkgyver 1,647]

Just for your interest, you don't have to extract the FOTR CR DVD to get Bilbo's farewell from Bag End without his voice.

Versed fans should know that this music can be heard in full, completely clean, in the languages menu on FOTR EE DVD 2.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Brónach 1,330]

I almost prefer not to know.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[gkgyver 1,647]

Bring it on!

And there better be new music, now that they are well into the recording sessions.

But that list says 9/13/2012.

[Jay 46,241]

Of course it does, it was just rated yesterday. What's the problem?

[gkgyver 1,647]

I see. I thought that was the release date.

[Incanus 5,890]

Yay! Let's also hope there will be awesome new footage in the trailer, not just a quick re-cut of the old material.

[gkgyver 1,647]

According to TORn, the trailer won't feature Shore music, but Remote Control stuff from Quantum.

Pukeface.

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

if it was a john williams film, people would be already panicking and saying that it means John's music is so bad they fear showing it...

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[gkgyver 1,647]

No, by people he means KM and Luke Skywalker.
