The Hobbit is such a beautiful book, and I'm sure it's in good hands with Guillermo del Toro.

ya, i heard about that. im glad that del toro is bringing back the necessary characters. i definately think he should replace bilbo though. ian holms was good as an aging character, but he just wont cut it as a young hobbit coming into his own (and yes, i realise that my description of bilbo sounded like something from sex and the city).

It suddenly occured to me that Orlando Bloom will probably make a cameo appearance in this movie. That would be annoying.

I'm pretty sure they stayed in Rivendell for a while and Elrond was there.

I hope Hugo Weaving reprises the role as well, I mean considering that Elrond supposedly never grows old.

I thought they already had the map he just gave further information on it and the runic language of the Dwarves. Then he gave them swords or he explained their swords were Elven, one of the two. I need to read the book again, it's been awhile

maybe. its been a while since i read it. he definately had something to do with the map though, so im sure he was in there. it just wasnt a big part. it definately wasnt as important as gollum or gandalf.

I can't wait for this movie. The book is so wonderful and I'm confident the director will make it a classic film.

That's great, The Hobbit would have sucked before it was even made if they hadn't had him come back.

This isn't really that unexpected if you've been following it for a while, like the geek I am. I still think they're making a mistake not having Jackson do it.

What do you think Smaug's gonna be like?

I think they could possibly find someone that could do the series justice. I dont personally agree with everything Jackson did. But thats not to say I dont like the movies, because I do.

I've only seen Pan's Labryinth from del Toro; what else has he done? I wasn't that impressed by it.

Only slightly impressed by Pan's Labyrinth? Wow you are the first...

Umm well he did Hellboy, which is probably his best known global one, but has done a few Spanish ones, not least of which was The Devil's Backbone... He will not dissapoint with this movie, I will stake my limited reputation on it...

I just hope it will live up to the first film... which it obviously won't. Good to know that the master wizard is going to be filling his role.
