Um, why did this movie take 7 years to make? The last movie was in 2003, and they already have the book for a movie screenplay, so were they waiting on better CGI technology or something?

Or perhaps waiting for the audience to be interested in fantasy medieval(?) settings again perhaps? Since the 3 LotR movies were kinda sort of back-to-back. More or less.

Oh my. That's very...

Honestly, I'm almost glad that it took this long for people to get their act together and produce the films. Wouldn't want to squander all of Tolkein's world on a single decade. I'm definitely looking forward to release.

inb4 it's a three-hour movie.v13_KiiLtz

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. The story of the Hobbit isn't as compelling as the trilogy, in my opinion. I'll certainly check it out though.

Are they splitting it into two movies?

I for one am PUMPED!!!! Can't wait for this and the fact the A Game of Thrones starts on HBO next month has me giddy as a school girl.

BILBO'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

I wonder what role Mikael Persbrandt was assigned before he decided to snort cocaine and screw it all up. Even if it's a really really minor role, it's The Hobbit man. What a dumb***

Edit: Beorn? Beorn the hobbit, no idea how important that character is, anyone know?

Other than that, yeah it's gonna be fun to see how this movie turns out. Everyone is expecting a lot.

BILBO'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:
