B-but they specifically made Ian Holm look younger for that scene in FR!

The rumours surrounding the movie sound awfully...well, awful, to be honest.

awful is an understatement my man, I am not happy at all at the news I have been hearing, which is a shame for fans!

I suppose we'll have to wait to see more of the end result before we really pass judgment on it.

So long as some people actually read The Hobbit - or have it read to them, or whatever - I'll be fine.

I haven't witnessed any particularly bad news except that there was a protest for better pay and that the studio wasn't open for discussion on that. Will they shoot the film in NZ now? What other news have you heard?

I'm pretty sure that's all been resolved. The news I've been hearing about casting has been...worrying.

Isn't Sir Ian in for Gandalf?

There has been talk about Cate Blanchett and Orlando Bloom signing on to reprise their roles...which I find worrying mainly because Lothlorien isn't in the Hobbit so I don't know what the heck Galadrial would be doing in Mirkwood/Rivendell or any of the other Hobbit locations. And Legolas isn't exactly in the books either...

Hello, hello... now I've been away for nearly 5 years and... everything still looks more or less the same o.O this Tig Party started... nearly 6 years ago O.o weird.

Anyway, somehow all of you don't seem to happy about the Hobbit movie... why? Actually, I'm quite happy about nearly everything I heard about it (except that PJ is in hospital).

About Galadriel: they already gave away quite a while ago that they'd show the White Council and some other relevant "politics stuff", ie. the Sauron-and-Mirkwood-story. And, of course, Galadriel is in the White Council (as is Saruman).

I'm much more disturbed by news like this - an elf warrior maid who "secretly falls in love with a young elf lord"?!

Oh my god. I hope they don't screw up on the plot for some stupid Hollywood romance 😘

They would dare taint the Hobbit with Hollywood romance? Whyyyyyy?!!! I thought they loved us!

Well, at least I love... us all. 😛

but but but....

10 days until first day of shooting... I hope.

Only ten days?

They officially planned to start on February 14th... there might be a delay of a few days due to PJs hospital stay, though.

I can't wait droolio

Also, I have to learn for the Educational Studies exam. wave
