[Geostigma]

Wow it took just one week for SAG to fuck everything up.
Thats just terrible.

Maybe I'll be able to go watch it when my retirement time comes... if there's any cinema by that time :|

The SAG is done being a bag of dicks. It looks like everything's finally moving forward. Fingers crossed it stays this way.

[ForceStealer]

Did they actually stop being a bag of dicks or did they just force it to become a union job?

 

[Interslicery]

They probably got more cash thrown their way

I approve of this news

 

[Cthulhu]

I don't know any of those names. Minus the first, now that I looked him up on IMDB / clicked the link . Now I demand he plays the movie clad in a robe and carries a towel throughout the movie.

...Which is a Good Thing, .

Also, actors and unions should stop being such cunts.

 

[Shademp]

I liked Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. I think he can pull off a good Bilbo.

 

[Cthulhu]

Also, according to this, the movie seems to become the most expensive movie of all time, with an expected budget of 500 million .

Of course, 100 million has already been spent on lawsuits alone. And I fear those won't be the last ones, and that the expected release of '12 / '13 won't be met.

 

[Glaurung]

Thorin surprised me in a very good way.

 

[Ghost X]

I am rather pessimistic about this film for some reason. Hopefully poor intuition.

 

[Animexcel]

This will be very interesting. I trust in Peter Jackson!

 

[Hisako]

Dwarf actors look a bit waif-like, kinda un-dwarfy from what imdb photos show. Not that I don't have faith that they have the talent, but Rhys Davies kinda had the face for it whereas for these other actors, well, I dunno.

Martin Freeman is a neat choice as Bilbo though. I never thought of that but now that I am it does seem to be a role he could probably play very well.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Graham mctavish eh, not bad.
Bit of the weedge getting represented in the hobbit lol.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

One more piece is in place. Howard Shore is going to compose for the Hobbit! I really enjoyed the music in the Lord of the Rings films, and am glad he's going to be around to keep the same tone and feel to the Hobbit films.

[X-SOLDIER]

Well..... It looks like the Hobbit Films are going to have an extra D. Please remember, like all other films, there will probably be the option of seeing these two sans the extra D.

3D in general

ugh



is my opinion.
Let's just hope it isn't those in-your-face ones, but honestly when the best 3D film are the ones that are too subtle to be noticed, why bother in the first place, hmm?

 

[Eerie]

Honestly though, the final battle against the dragon with the 3D should look amazing

So, I'm not totally against it XD

Looking forward this =)

 

[Tetsujin]

I have confidence it won't be shitty gimmicky 3D. Although I'd be more accepting of 3D once we have the technology to do it without glasses.
