This looks like it will be a good one! can't wait a whole year though...

How would Hollywood make money then?

Believe it or not, there are people who don't want to sit in a theater for three hours, even for an awesome movie. So now, they get those people in to see it too, hit 'em twice for the two movies, and can release regular DVDs followed by extended version DVDs.

The trailer brought screaming back how whiny Bilbo was early in the book though. *shudder*

Though, that makes it fortunate that they'll likely truncate the early, less-exciting parts of the book.

What we'll DEFINITELY see a lot of is mirkwood. That's where Legolas' cameo is, so you can be certain they'll want to make it big.

The scene with the troll statues in LotR was only in the extended edition of the movies, so they may choose to cut that out from the shorter version. Though that'll be a shame, since it's a great story.

You'll definitely be seeing Riddles in the Dark. And you can expect the final battle and the part with the dragon to both receive way more than they deserve.

Thinking about it, I kinda feel like it should be split into two movies. Part one could easily end when Bilbo emerges from beneath the mountains, with the ring. Part two could have picked up with him reuniting with the group.

I guess the real issue is that would make part I way less exciting.

[EDIT]

WAIT, it IS being split? I thought it wasn't. Awesome! Because I REALLY don't think 3 hours would have been enough.

Oh **** can't wait. It'll most likely come out during my last week of classes or during finals next year. But obviously this movie takes precedence.

I think I actually read the hobbit in high school now that I think about it.

This is so exciting! Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited, well, except for that time that I saw the Lord of The Rings trailer and I went *gasp* but I mean really, who can top that?



Sorry. Had to do it when I saw Sand's avatar. Seriously, though, can't wait to see this.

The best part? I've only seen the 1st 3 episodes of the cartoon and never watched anymore. But when I found this picture I LOL'ed because it reminded me of something that happened as a kid.

Hey, significant portions of the internet are fans of french kissing lizards.

I don't really get excited for movies and stuff anymore, but I'll be standing in line on opening night for this one.

One big problem is that there are too many bloody dwarfs. Who can keep them all straight?

I'm probably a bit slow on the pickup, but it took me a second viewing of the trailer to realize Bilbo is Arthur Dent from the Hitchhiker's Guide. Cool beans!

Definitely my favorite line.
