The Hobbit Film Trilogy Thread

[crocodile 9,724]

There's one good thing about this three film idea.

One more Howard Shore score!

Karol

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

yeah

[Marian Schedenig 11,695]

Film two ending with Smaug's death? How much is left then for film three? 20 pages?

56 in The Annotated Hobbit. And don't forget that the later chapters are much more detailed than the earlier ones. Most of the journey chapters certainly need much more invented dialogue than the later parts - unless you want to collapse the entire journey into a 10 minute sequence.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

People keep saying the only good thing is more Shore.

Yay more SHOOOREEE WWAAAHHOOO!!!!!! The film is gonna be shit though.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Patience.

[Wojo 2,458]

Patience.

GNR?

[gkgyver 1,647]

Yeah, PJ will be the next Lucas.

Except that PJ has something Lucas doesn't, which is feeling for dialogue, music, acting, pacing, and a good dose of humility that tells him other people may be better at writing the screenplay.

So, even if Jackson completely walks away from the source material and includes stuff that no Tolkien fan could ever tolerate, at the very least it will be a good, nicely paced, well-acted film. Which practically every movie that Lucas did after Episode VI wasn't.

Shore is the next Goldsmith (well, after Giacchino, of course), so there's no problem in that regard.

Except that Shore has more Oscars than Goldsmith and Giacchino - combined.

Even if one of these movies, or all of them, are shit (which they most certainly won't be), Howard Shore is still drawing an unbelievable amount of inspiration from the book(s), and the visuals of the film (which most certainly will be outstanding with Lee's and Howe's work), so there is no danger of any lack of inspiration.

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

calm down.

BTW... PJ is all you said. BUT great film-pacer?

NO thanks, too much slow-mo.

[Red 75]

I'll reserve judgement until I see more, especially the first actual movie just to understand what Jackson's doing with the whole thing. I want to love this, but decisions like this just baffle me. I'm still have hope, but I'm cautious.

[Naïve Old Fart 13,023]

It smacks of Warner Bros. wanting even more money.

Anyway, what's the third film going to be called?

[BloodBoal 8,711]

PJ Goes Apeshit

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387]

The Hobbit: The Battle Of Five Armies

The Hobbit: Sauron Rises

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[tannhauser 101]

Return of the Hobbit

Rise of the Planet of the Hobbits

[crocodile 9,724]

The Hobbit: Dawdling on the Way

Tagline:

"A Journey is not worth it if you can't stop to smell the woods burning."

[crocodile 9,724]

I can see the trailer:

This season

why not treat yourself

to a longer walk?

The Hobbit 3: Money, Money, Money, Money, We Can't Keep Doing This Bob!

[Wojo 2,458]

The Hobbit: There and Back Again...Just Not Yet

[Quintus 6,496]

A Middle-Earth movie is never too long, BloodBoal Bastard Baggins, and nor is it too short; it ends precisely when it means to.

[Brónach 1,330]

Specifically, when it has enough money to.

[Quintus 6,496]

Ah, I remember being just as cynical when I were your age, young whippersnapper!

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Quintus 6,496]

The budget is set, the cast and crew are moving. We come to it at last, the great sprawling nine hour Hobbit trilogy of our time...

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[KK 3,313]

The authority is not granted you to deny the return of the Jackson!

[Incanus 5,890]

My heart tells me that the third Hobbit film has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before this is over.

[Quintus 6,496]

FILM NOW! FILM NOW! FILLLLLLM! FILM FOR RUIN! AND THE TRILOGY'S EXTENDED ENDIIIIIIIIIIING!

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Incanus 5,890]

And even now we learn from New Zealand that Peter Jackson is stirring with a third film. Such is the hour in which this wanderer chooses to return. Why indeed should we welcome you Master Stormcrow, with tidings of the third Hobbit film? Láthspell I name you, Ill-news; and ill news is an ill guest they say.

[KK 3,313]

If this is to be Jackson's end, then he would have them make such an end, as to be worthy of remembrance.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[KK 3,313]

There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.

[Quintus 6,496]

Okay the nerds have started paraphrasing mini essays now. I'm outta here.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Wojo 2,458]

Lame.

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

dolby 3d is better than real 3d...

[Delorean90 47]

So, in the summer of 2014, would you rather see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug or The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies?

http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/07/31/60231-exclusive-new-line-registers-hobbit-movie-titles/

[Brónach 1,330]

It should be An Unexpected Journey, The Road Goes Ever On and There and Back Again.

If you're making three films at least get it right

[Datameister 2,586]

dolby 3d is better than real 3d...

No kidding. Although I did recently see Brave in RealD and it looked surprisingly good...

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

It should be An Unexpected Journey, The Road Goes Ever On and There and Back Again.

those titles sound good

desolation of smaug and battle of the five armies sound like videogame spin off titles.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

Rise of the Witch king = spin of videogame title
