The Hobbit

[Buleste]

Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh have signed up to be Executive Producers on "The Hobbit" and it's sequel? If you want a bit more detail goto http://www.thehobbitblog.com/ but still nothing on what the Hobbit sequel is.

Now THAT is great news, looks like PJ has sorted out his problems with New Line then.

At last, another movie to look forward to!

This is it though there are to be two films. "The Hobbit" and it's sequel but as LOTR was written as a sequel wtf is the second film going to be???

The Silmarillion???

Although that, to me, would be like someone trying to film Ulysses by James Joyce.

Maybe its Bilbo's Last Song

or more likely to be The Children of Hurin!

I don't think the Silmarillion will ever be filmed due to the creation story at the start and it would be too difficult for most to get their heads around as it is and would loose too much if it was dumbed down. Any body know if any further adventures of Bilbo were written in the History of Middle Earth series?

I wouldn't mind it if they actually made a film (or series of films) based on the background material offered in The Silmarillion, provided the storyline is coherent enough. There's just so much stuff in there - a film depicting the War of Wrath against Morgoth would be totally sweet. Maybe even about the events from when Sauron first came to power, ending with his defeat against the Last Alliance.

I want to see dragons! Giant spiders! Balrogs! Not just some weakling orcs!
