i thought they did a sequel, in fact, three of them....

12/18/2007 12:56:34 PM

sweeet. my favorite fantasy book ever so im pumped.

wonder what they mean by the hobbit and its sequel?

12/18/2007 12:56:38 PM

i wonder if they're just breaking the hobbit up into two movies

12/18/2007 12:57:53 PM

i mean, there is time between the hobbit and the lord of the rings

did tolkien's son or someone write stories about the time in between

it all sounds like bad mojo from this corner

see^^, thats what another article i read made it sound like. and then this article said sequel. i mean there was 60 years between the hobbit and fellowship but yea im thinking breaking the movie into 2 parts.

The AP article said "Two "Hobbit" films are scheduled to be shot simultaneously" which made me think theyre just going to shoot the story unabridged and use 2 movies for it.

and yes im super excited

either way *joygasm*

12/18/2007 1:00:27 PM

to be fair, i would like to see a movie telling of the "necromancer"

12/18/2007 1:03:24 PM

i just wish tolkien had written more about middle earth than he did :/

You could have a prequel - The Similarion

12/18/2007 1:24:08 PM

what... a 10 hour film that only 5 people have seen?

12/18/2007 1:25:49 PM

the silmarillion wouldnt be much for a movie heh.

12/18/2007 1:53:42 PM

the quenta silmarillion wouldn't make a bad movie

12/18/2007 11:36:09 PM

The Silmarillion would be way too hard to make into a movie
