Hopefully should be better without Peter Jackson directing, can't wait to see what Del Toro does, especially with Mirkwood

8 stars, you unfortunately have only used 6 hence this thread is not, and can never be, official

Not sure about these films, I'll definitely be queueing to see The Hobbit when it is released but the second film just sounds like a cash in job.

Woot so pleased Andy Serkis is doing Gollum again, thought he was fantastic in the LOTR films

As long as they don't ruin Smaug I'll be happy.

I bet the second films story won't fit with the rest of tolkiens works and will be a huge disappointment!

The Hobbit: Revolutions

*shudder*

w00t, looks like a good lineup so far.

Tummy · 18 Mar 2010 at 17:08

Looks really good so far, pushing all the right buttons.

Can't wait for this, hope it's as good as Lord of the Rings to be honest.

I've found this site to be very up-to-date in regards to Hobbit news:

Guilermo Del Toro has pulled out of the Hobbit

Stupid bloody MGM and their financial difficulties :mad:

Cosimo · 31 May 2010 at 10:07

So he's pulled out, it's not the end of the world.

Crappy news. Will be interesting to see who they get to replace him.

Oh god it's the beginning of the end, please not Peter Jackson directing

I agree but I was kinda looking forward to his take on Tolkien's world. I'd imagine Peter Jackson will probably step back in and take over if they can't find a suitable replacement.

Why not?

I thought he did an amazing job with the others. :confused:

I can't help but see the dragon from the film Dragonheart everytime I try to imagine it.

He did an ok job but changed too much for the sake of it (that **** bit with Aragorn falling off the cliff and "almost dying" for example) and the last film was just terrible.

ignore

Does anyone thing that this will be any good as Peter Jackson is not directing the film?

I desperately hope it is good but i have my doubts.

The lord of the rings trilogy will be hard to live up to after Peter Jacksons Directing.
