| | Posted: | | | | Fantastic news EDIT: I see that they plan a sequel to the Hobbit. Not so sure I like that though (unless the divide the book in two. Hopefully that's what the meant about a sequel) | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Good god, two movies and when was the last time you saw anything Jackson was connected with come in at under 3 hours? If they stretch the Hobbit out to 6 hours I'm expecting to see how Bilbo was conceived. Excalibur, anyone? | | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

If they stretch the Hobbit out to 6 hours I'm expecting to see how Bilbo was conceived. Excalibur, anyone? As was pointed out above, I think the basic idea will be for the first movie to cover The Hobbit in it's entirety. The second movie is meant as a bridge between The Hobbit and the other LoTR movies. I'd imagine it would mostly come from Tolkiens other stories, footnotes, and expansive appendixes for stories to bring the whole series together. Jackson already did something similar in the original trilogy if I remember correctly. I think most of the love story stuff between Aragon, Arwen, and Eowyn was mostly all taken from these other places as they weren't that detailed in the original books. As this point, after what he's done already, I trust Jackson completely. If he's saying the story he wants to tell needs to be broken into 2 movies then do whatever it takes to give this man his 2 movies. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader
