Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm pulling for the Mirkwood Elves to sing a piece composed by Shore that really feels as though it were written in Middle-Earth, steeped in all that faint sorrow and melancholy that Tolkien writes about, and which then appears during the credits in an otherworldly a capella choral version.I'm entirely serious. I'd love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 We cannot judge if it was a good idea to go from 2 to 3 films till after TABA is released.Two films might not have been enough to cover Tauriels plight, her story, her choices.

I'm reading The Silmarilion at the moment and I'm thinking of going through some of the History of Middle-Earth, History of the Hobbit stuff when I'm done.

A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I don't think you can judge the splitting into a trilogy based on AUJ. It was simply too long and slow to get started. It could have been cut down but ending at the same point and still leave a trilogy.Right, but the root problem is that Jackson doesn't know what to keep and what to cut anymore. Since he's directing parts 2 and 3 as well, I think it's a pretty safe bet that he'll make exactly the same sorts of mistakes on those films as well. Also, the man is positively filled with stupid ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 BTW Apparently, the DOS prologue is going to be around The Battle of Anazilbizar (or whatever). In the Dec issue of EMPIRE magazine it states "Christian Rivers is filming the second film 's prologue, in which dwarves and orcs, (provisionally stunt men in grey leotards with large tubes on their heads that stand in for eye-line,) are making their grievances felt. Later, Rivers seeks out Jackson's advice on the best way for Jeffrey Thomas' Thror to fall over. Towards the camera is the swift conclusion."

Faleel 5,359 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Frodo's parents, for some reason People are speculating they will have a part in the story, not sure where it came from (perhaps from the scene that is in the AUJ EE of the party, before it was confirmed to be a scene with young Bilbo or something?

Jay 37,372 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I can't imagine what Frodo's parents will have to do with anything at all in these moviesThe only people in the new party scene are Gandalf, Bilbo, and Belladonna Took Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The only people in the new party scene are Gandalf, Bilbo, and Belladonna TookI get that.But you know how speculation can get!Apparently, the guy cast as Alfrid was originally cast as Drogo, so that is where this Idea came from.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wow, and I thought speculations couldn't become wilder anymore. So the prologue of TABA shows the conceiving of Frodo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Empire on Mirkwood:Chief obstacle to dwarven progress is Mirkwood, Tolkien's impossibly vast and much-corrupted forest, which in Peter Jackson's devilish hands has been reborn as a hallucinogenic nightmare. "We spent weeks basically stoned," laughs Armitage, "acting stone obviously...or on acid." The fetid air is alive with mushroom spores, sending the party into a delirium. This labyrinth of tormented trees came painted in outlandish hues that will twist and warp to make Fangorn seem as threatening as Hundred Acre Wood.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 When I picture the dwarves stumbling stoned through Mirkwood, I don't know whether to laugh or scream in agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Well, it makes more sense for the Dwarves to be hallucinating, then having Elves feasting in Spider territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolkien just knew it could work in a children's book about an enchanted forest. Jackson, however, doesn't seem to know what works in a movie you try to sell as serious.
