Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches, blazes with light

Very cool, I had no idea they were making The Hobbit.
As a book and a story it wasn't nearly what the LotR trilogy was, I think the fanboys (myself included) will enjoy the movie but after the success of the three movies I think The Hobbit--unless they completely rework the story--will be a flop with the larger audience. I mean, Fellowship had Moria and the Balrog, Two Towers had Helm's Deep, the Ents and Saruman, and of course Return of the King had multiple battles and the destruction of Sauron. So now they're gonna follow that up with The Hobbit which--if I'm remembering it right--had a confrontation with three trolls and Bilbo stealing the ring from Gollum...not quite the same level of intrigue.

Sadly I did not. My daughter sent me a text and alerted me to the Hobbit sighting.

There's a lot of action towards the end. Toying with the dragon, battle on the river city with the dragon, battle with all the armies.

Good thing I prefaced it with 'if I'm remembering it right' because clearly I'm not! Time to re-read The Hobbit, I guess.
I actually read The Hobbit after reading the trilogy (multiple times), I think I'm projecting my relative disappointment since I didn't enjoy it as much as LotR. But yea, with the dragon and the battle with the army (were they orcs?) they'll have more than enough material to make a quality movie.

IIRC: goblins/wolves vs men/elves/dwarfs at the end battle. No orcs.
There's also the stuff in the middle when they escape from the mountain after Bilbo finds the ring...wolves and goblins chasing around. They could play that up to a big action scene. I think there's plenty to go around. More than Fellowship of the Ring at least.

IIRC, they are making two movies. Of course, The Hobbit itself is insufficient to span two movies (even by Peter Jackson), so they are using other material from the LotR appendices and elsewhere. Thus the Necromancer reference I made. If you watched the trailer, you saw Galadriel, who was not in The Hobbit but was involved at the time in the effort to oust the Necromancer (aka Sauron) from Dol Guldur.
Again, IIRC.

I think, if you want to get technical about it, LOTR isn't even really a trilogy. It was designed as one epic novel, then it was split into 3 volumes, but each volume has 2 books.
Nerd alert.

True... but even "The Santa Clause" got a little hokey in the last one with all the other fictional beings. ;)

It's arrogance of Peter Jackson to think he can ever outdo the original The Hobbit cartoon!...

Thats what I recall reading some time ago as well and why I think you are dead on with the Necromancer.

youtube is great for that.
For similar comments go look at the John Carter trailer. People are clueless
