The Hobbit Movie
I've looked on wikipedia and other websites and it sounds like they are planning to make a theatrical version of The Hobbit for 2010 and one other prequel film. I do not know much else about it so if you know more, post. Please?

I don't know. It might be The Silmarillion.

Being as Christopher Tolkien hated the LOTR movies and swore he'd never sell the Hobbit (a book which his father wrote for him and his siblings personally)... I don't think you'll ever see a Hobbit movie or other Tolkein work on the big screen.

Yeah I think the second one is supposed to be the link between the Hobbit and The Fellowship. Maybe it will be like the adventures of Gandalf or something.

From what I remember in the paper, it is the Hobbit told in two parts. This was in the Dallas Morning News. They said that Peter Jackson has already signed on as the producer, and they hadn't reached a decision on the director, but they thought it would be Jackson.

The last rumor I heard was that the second one was more of a "youth of Aragorn" type story.

Apparently, Guillermo del Toro will be the director...I saw it on the AOTS news ticker couple of days ago.

Hmmmm. Could be good, but I am sure they will lose Tolkein's amazing vision and wreck it.

(I am the ultimate lotr nerd, I am just not so violent.)

I thought they did a good job on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Except for the fact that they left out Tom Bombadi.

They didn't represent the books at all. Not a bit. They were fantastic movies, but just that. I have to consciously eliminate the books from my mind while watching the movies, other wise the movies just appear really silly.

What he said. They stand, on their own, as great movies (albeit a bit long and drug out), but they mutilate aspects of the books. there's no way a filmmaker could create films that stand up to the books, but they could have done a better job than they did.
