The film version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” will be split into three movies, rather than two as originally planned, New Zealand director Peter Jackson said Tuesday. Jackson, who was responsible for the Oscar-winning adaption of Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, said be began considering…
Hobbit, movies, unexpected journey, Tolkien, director peter jackson, fearsome dragon smaug, recent hollywood trend, Other big names, box office returns, Hunger Games saga, Hobbit movie, actor martin freeman, Earth fantasy world, lost dwarf kingdom, Oscar-winning adaption, Rings, professor tolkien, Bilbo Baggins, simple question, early cut, blockbuster franchises, Back Again, hometown wellington, extended appendices, release date, Facebook page, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, film version, Cate Blanchett, Billy Connolly, James Nesbitt, Barry Humphries, Harry Potter, epic quest, Stephen Fry, final novels, The Hobbit, Twilight series, Christopher Lee, Orlando Bloom, central role, Elijah Wood, extra movie, single book, multiple movies, actor, Saruman, Galadriel, Gandalf
I’m worried about this…I love Peter Jackson, I love LOTR, but I’m just worried that there will be enough to fill three whole movies. I worry that this is just a ploy to gain more money out of popularity of the series. I really hope that the quality won’t suffer, and for now I trust Peter Jackson enough to see what happens.
I’m adopting a wait-and-see attitude. It could be a good move. I was disappointed that the crucial scene of the battle-hardened hobbits’ return home where they kicked some serious butt was left out of the Return of the King.
