Incanus 5,714 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Tolkien only really started to make money out of his novels when he was well into his old age. He and Edith and the children lived a relatively frugal and poor life when money was concerned. And I think there were several battles over the illegal paperback edition of LotR in the US, which threatened to undermine his income from the profits of the novel there.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah he was never motivated to write because of money. Or else he would have actually had The Sil published in his own lifetime instead of spending decades trying to fine tune it. Trying to put this imaginary world from his mind to paper.

Incanus 5,714 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Unbelievable!Or perhaps not. This is after all the same airline that had a giant hobbit painted on their biggest plane the last time Middle Earth craze inflamed the country.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 So, when is Disney going to buy the rights of Tolkien and PJ's Films? Tolkien did not want disney anywhere near his works, didn't he? Maybe he wrote some clausule about it so its safe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,355 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Ah. All those bits are similar enough to things we've seen before, especially the dish throwing stuff.BTW, is there a list of video available of all the footage shown in the older teasers/trailers that we know now to be in Film 2 (or 3?)

KK 3,307 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I just liked hearing some new lines from Galadriel and Gandalf instead of the same old ones. And the only potential film 2 material we've seen is some of the Gandalf scenes in Dol Goldur right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Could this photo be a fake?Radagast does not look the same actor (could be the sled-stunt man...) even looks photoshoped, and furthermore his beard is very long and has a laced knot in the middle, which the other photos dont have...

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I think the photos is a bit skewed. That looks like Sylvester McCoy to me though. But you are right, his beard is a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 They probably just knot it in between setups so it doesnt get in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
